This program seems really interesting, but I can not get it to load all the birds,
http://www.tomdoyle.org/SimpleSatLookDown/SimpleSatLookDown.html
Like NO-84 etc.
I find it amazing that a person that makes a program, has zero way to contact the person. Granted it IS a free program so I can't complain, it is just UG all I can see is the Celestrak info and that list does not include NO-84
Anyone Help?

Tom is on this list.
Edit the SatLookDown1_28\SimpleSatData\SatData\WebDataSources.txt file and add the following line:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt, AMSAT.txt
Then restart the program and click web update. AMSAT keps should then be available for selection.
AMSAT keps were available by default in the previous version. I'm not sure why he took it out. With NO-84 and AO-85, and the possibility of similar situations in the future, we need to make sure that satellite tracking program developers always include AMSAT keps as an option. Too many are locked to CelesTrak which does not and cannot include satellites launched on classified missions.
