[amsat-bb] API for satellite status now being tested.

[Bob]

Now that the JSON API is running for this, adding another one for pass
predictions would go a long way to making small desktop widgets based on
Circuit Python and the ESP chip possible.  Imagine a tiny $30 device that
lets you know when your favorite satellites will be crossing overhead.

Glad folks are exercising the status port.  I'll be adding it to one of my
desktop devices soon!
