I am not worried about the satellites. Satellite systems don't care what day or year it is, they only care what second it is :-) They have their own internal clocks, for the most part, and it is the ground software that might cause a problem, not the space stuff. For example, GPS satellites keep track of time in seconds and weeks, and they have a problem coming up this August, but not on the satellite end, on the ground end for the older GPS receivers.

Glad you got yourself a line of sight :-) I have to retrim mine every spring.
