Orbitron Prediction Output - More than three lines?
You can select Brief or 3 lines (AOS, MET, LOS) but what I would like is a line for every minute or two during the pass, maybe selectable. Also, can I get directions instead of AZM? I haven't gotten used to that yet. All this would be very helpful to me instead of having to bring my laptop, which will be hard to see outside anyway. Something I can just print out, and look at my watch to know where it is, and where to point, would be more convenient, I think.
PS, I got into SO-50 this morning and this evening, meaning I could hear myself clearly on the downlink. someone in a Delta grid square came back to me this morning, but I didn't have the bird well enough to receive very well and had to apologize for that. This evening I heard myself multiple times but everyone was trying to work W4T. I got a good audio recording of the evening pass too. If someone wants it, let me know. My next attempt at SO-50 will be the Thursday morning pass and the evening pass too perhaps if I don't get anything in the morning. I must say, working this bird is very hard with such a low power signal. It is still very fun, but I am definitely thinking about a preamp! Hah!

Give Gpredict a try.
It's a linux soft but on the internet there are Windows versions, This is the way I doit.
It prints he pass data in about 20 lines (1/3 of a letter sheet) and I use to draw by hand the polar view below it.
Select the sat, right click, next pass, list view, print.

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.
