David,
I updated my Keps via WXtrack this morning in the usual way using the Update Keplers from the Internet Option dropdown and everything loaded as usual from celestrak.
I've read Tom's comments and it seems the format has changed?
Will I/we, well you, have to make any changes to WXtrack in the future?
Regards,
John

David,John, WXtrack uses the Internet Web connection provided by your PC, which already handles the 200/301 issue. There are now some 53000+ satellites and the range of numbers is only up to 69,999. The new format is designed to handle this, but it could mean substantial reprogramming, in my case several programs. I would like to try and keep WXtrack working in the meantime. Six years time when the numbers may run out I will be 80 - will I still be interested or even capable then? Who knows!

David,
Thanks for the explanation.
In 6 years time I will be 85 so I too wonder 'about the future.'
And we have to think about MTG and Metop SG as well.
I'm considering buying my last (ever) car - which definitely won't be electric.
My lovely SEAT Leon ST Technology 2 L diesel - EURO 5 - which is now 8 years old, low mileage and still in showroom condition - and running very well - does 53 mpg and is really poky torque-wise.
600 miles on one 'charge' (tankful)!
Why on earth would I go electric - till I'm forced to?
If I change it will be another 2 L diesel (EURO-6) from the VW Group.
A bit OT, sorry folks, but that's todays 'thought for the day.'
Regards,
John
