I cannot get satpc32 to read the data from the preliminary keps posted on amsat.org.
any one else have this problem?
anyone else find a solution?

They work here, but keep in mind that those preliminary keps only approximate the perigee, apogee, and inclination of the expected orbit and are not at all useful for post-launch tracking.

Bruce,
They work fine for me. Just make certain that you are pasting unformatted. As Paul mentioned, those Keps are over 2 years old, created from the nominal orbit parameters, and are only useful for getting an idea of what the typical coverage will look like, so I wouldn't worry much if they don't work for you.
73s,
