Gentlefolk,

<< Said parameters, IIRC, define the orbit, but not where in
the orbit the bird will be at any given moment.  Not very useful. >>

Actually, the reduced set is very useful to those attempting to fit an 
observation to an orbit for either orbit determination or recognition 
purposes.  It's a number of variables - number of equations issue.

--Best, Gerald
