Satellite information for WSR
Can any one help with information about these older satellites that are still in the keplarian elements that I aquired from Celestrak today?
OSCAR III [-] AO-5 [-] AO-6 [-] AO-8 [-] FO-12 [-] UO-15 [-]
I am trying to update the Weekly Satellite Report and am finding NO information about these satellites on the internet. I would like to at LEAST list them in the Non-operational portion of the WSR as a reference if someone wants to try to listen for them incase they do a "AO-7" event on us. Maybe I just am not looking in the right places or literature for this info.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi James, W8ISS
The right place to find all information about the above older satellites is "The Satellite Experimenters Handbook" by Martin Davidoff, K2UBC ARRL Order No 3185 2nd Edition $20,00 in USA Appendix A "Radio Amateur Satellite History : Dates and Frequencies"
AO-6 [-] i.e. OSCAR-6 launched Oct 15 1972 with a mode-A transponder and a 435.100 MHz beacon was my first amateur communication satellite .........nice to remember !
