Subject: UO-11 just 100000 on 31 Oct 2002

I noticed that UO-11 might be passed over just 100000 of the orbit
number before long.  UO-11 was launched on 2nd March 1984, and it's
now transmitting the beacon of 2m and 2.4GHz.

The above kep is 'orb02192.2l.asmat'.  The orbit number is 98349,
so 1651 to 100000.

  100000 - 98349 = 1651
  1651/14.76930622 = 111.78588726
  192.81508489 + 111.78588726 = 304.60097215

The epock time 304.60097215 is 14:25:24 UTC, 31 Oct 2002.
It maybe contains +/- one and a half hour's obserbational lag.
