Elevation vs time for several satellites, 24 hours

Polar plot of the same satellites.

(see if I get this right)
The satellites go around twice per day.  Relative to the peak of the first
orbit, the Earth (and receiver) has rotated 180 degrees so the second peak is
over the pole.

Elevation vs time for a single satellite

That shows how far the satellite orbit drifts over 4 days.

Polar plot of all 31 active satellites, 24 hours

SVN 04 wasn't active.
