Go to www.stoff.pl and download "Orbitron 3.71". Once you load and
install it, make sure you update the "Keplarian elements", the latest
orbital data the program needs to give you accurate tracking info.

Ah yes, Sputnik. I was a 12 year old kid at the time, wanted to listen
to it in the worst way (20 Mc/s) and the only receiver in the house was
a BC-348 that just went up to 18 Mc/s. I started to build a 15 meter
converter, but Sputnik's batteries went dead before I finished it...
