I took Stacey's "massaged" data below and translated it to the typical TLE set 
that WISP and STSPLUS use. The signals disappeared from my receiver during the 
last pass at ~ 70 seconds/0.4 degrees before both programs predicted the 
satellite would be at 0 degrees.

With the original TLE set, AO-10 disappeared from view some 10 minutes early, 
according to both programs.

Another great product from the mind of Mills.

Thank you, Stacey.
