Is there a special or alternate keps for ISS? Today I listened to NA1SS and when Col. Doug reported a QTH of North Dakota, my SatPC32 was displaying them at about Indiana. Still was able to copy them over my 12 degree hill when SatPC32 was reporting them over the Atlantic coast line. I had just done an update.
I noticed that over the weekend. He reported being over the junction of Lakes Huron and Erie, when the tracking program showed him over the east coast. I think he's just looking out the window at an angle rather than straight down.

Dave, Trouble is, I could still hear them when ISS had dropped behind my hill and also when the footprint was way beyond my QTH. When I go back out to my radio barn, I'll check my time sync. ~Larry

I had this same issue with Orbitron a couple weeks ago. I was getting my kep updates from celestrak.com, then I switched to stoff.pl and it is working fine.

I checked against http://iss.astroviewer.net/. Today issue is better, however, still actual ISS posn about 100 miles ahead of SatPC32's displayed posn. My computer clock is off by no more than 1 second. For the clock to throw posn off by 100 miles, clock would need to be in error by about 15 seconds.

Hi!
I checked against http://iss.astroviewer.net/. Today issue is better, however, still actual ISS posn about 100 miles ahead of SatPC32's displayed posn. My computer clock is off by no more than 1 second. For the clock to throw posn off by 100 miles, clock would need to be in error by about 15 seconds.
Just create an account at http://www.space-track.org/ and download the keps from there. I just logged into Space Track, and they have an ISS element set that was updated at approximately 2053 UTC today (not long before I sent this message).
Regardless of the freshness of the elements, it sometimes takes a little bit before after the ISS has a boost raising its orbit to where the keps are back to being on the mark.

The ISS did some thruster tests recently. That could account for the difference. ISS is a dynamic satellite. It has minor and major changes to its orbit and the "predicts" are sometime a bit behind the actual until things fall into a more stable state and get updated. I expect the numbers will be off again after the Soyuz undock today (tomorrow UTC).
