[amsat-bb] BIRDS-2 digipeater

[alex weimer]

Nitin:
here is what I am using for the TLE's and the callsigns for the digipeater
UiTMSAT-1 43589 98067PD Callsign BIRDMY
BHUTAN-1 43591 98067PF Callsign BIRDBT
MAYA-1 43590 98067PE Callsign BIRDMY I don't know why they share the same callsign as UiTMSAT-1
Celestrak has them listed now as well.. 73 JACK
