[amsat-bb] Orbitron Prediction Output - More than three lines?

[John Brier]

Thank you Tom and Pavel. I actually already installed Sat32PC but found it
hard to setup, and I found an easy setup guide for orbitron on YouTube.

Gpredict I have heard of but not tried. Will look into that too.

Thanks all.
