Another option is to use satmatch.com.
By modifing the URL you can get all of the passes between 2 locations for a number of satellites, example:
https://www.satmatch.com/satellite/SO-50,AO-91,AO-92,CAS-4B,XW-2A/obs1/DM01/...
Add/change the satellite names as needed, change the grid squares, more western is 1st, and set date & duration as required.
There is a GUI available, but I find it is easier to do manually; at least for me.

No worries. I still made a contact on that pass and you are able to fix something on your end to help you work more passes. It’s a win-win for both of us.

I need some advice, and I promise to be grateful.
Trying to work a sked tonight with Jeff W4EB on EO-88 and yours truly
made a series of newbie mistakes.
Since becoming involved in satellites, I’ve always relied on the
“Countdown” program within SatPC32 to let me know what passes were coming up at my location.
Tonight I learned that I’ve been missing God knows how many passes per
day! The Countdown software will only display one (1) upcoming pass for a given satellite at your location until that satellite has disappeared from view.
In the case of EO-88, I actually had two passes overhead about an hour
apart, but only knew about the first one.
Strictly Windows 10 PC in the shack. What’s the best tool to use to help
me visualize ALL the upcoming passes for the next twelve hours or so at my location. I love the Countdown format, just want to be able to see multiple passes from the same birds.
P.S. The other newbie mistake was forgetting to switch my antenna back
to the IC-910H after doing an APRS pass earlier on the D-710. DUH! I really need to invest in an IC-9700.
Thanks Jeff for your patience.
