Hi Armando, N8IGJ
If unlikely AMSAT will be oblijed to derive by itself keps for the OSCAR satellites carrying a transponder using the following method:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/articles/g3ruh/123.html
or the GPS method:
ftp://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/chesters/goesref/Moreau_GPS.pdf
the keps will be posted here for free in the hope to get more satellite users and AMSAT members.
