The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) publishes a book called 'The Satellite Experimenter's Handbook' by Martin Davidoff. It has some sections on orbital calculations. I had to track it down through a ham radio store, no normal book stores or electronics stores had it. I have converted the Tom Clark satellite orbit program to C, and have made it take a file of satellite elements so that you don't have to modify the program for each satellite. I used it when the shuttle was in a high inclination orbit and visible from the Northeast.
