Opps! I typed too fast. This week's TLE Distribution loaded on my SatPC32 tracking program WITHOUT issue!

Tonight (1-11-2018) at 10:58 p.m. EST (9:58 p.m. CST) the PSLV-C40 flight from India will place AMSAT Fox-1D in orbit.
Additional information, per AMSAT News Service Bulletin #007, can be followed for launch updates at: https://spaceflight101.com/events/pslv-c40-cartosat-2er/ http://tinyurl.com/ANS-007-SpaceFlight-PSLVC40 http://tinyurl.com/ANS-007-SpaceDaily-PSLV
The pre-launch lastest TLEs for Fox-1D are included in this weeks AMSAT-NA TLE distribution with the satellite name and NORAD CAT ID of "99934". The last TLE in the list. I have verified this TLE distribution with my tracking
program (SatPC32) and the TLEs load with issue.
Comment: Since several objects are to be placed in orbit, we will face the same identification issues as occurred with AO-91. I plan to hold both the satellite name and the NORAD CAT ID for Fox-1D as "99934" until we settle on
which object is Fox-1D. Hopefully this will minimize overall confusion.
