And, if you want a complete list of 410 birds

There was only 1 mistake in it.

A related question…Is there some reason we need to carry old, no longer in-use, satellites in these files? The Doppler.sql file is full of satellites one cannot possibly use anymore. Same question about the lists in general. Can one filter the lists so adding AO-51 for example to tracking is never even an option —as in one never even sees it.

Well, for one thing, dead satellites sometimes come back from the dead. AO-7 comes to mind - and yes, I was on the first US pass after it was confirmed to be alive after 21 years of silence.
I would prefer them to stay as it is a good reference for historical reasons.
Maybe put dead ones all at the bottom of the file or under a different section of the file.

I would love a purged list of only active birds.
What I will do is compare my list to those on Amsat's pages. If something comes back from the dead, it is easy enough to add.
