Thanks for sharing Bob, it is quite useful.
Since I like to have similar lists but for the birds that I commonly use, I made an Excel macro that downloads the predictions from amsat.org and puts out calendar files that are then imported into a publicly shared Google calendar. I then link to this calendar via websites, and smart phones. Following is the code and URL if you are interested -
-------<html> <head><title>Satellite Passes for Fremont, CA [CM97]</title></head> <body> <div class="responsive-iframe-container"> <iframe src="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?title=Satellite%20Passes%20for%20Fremony%20CA%20(grid CM97an)&mode=AGENDA&height=600&wkst=2&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF& src=k6vug.cm97%40gmail.com&color=%23000000& src=kij9bsfqfug1m5ck87qfnvt4rg%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23400000& src=45utd9c9alkfc5ida2404k50q8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23711616& ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles" style="border:solid 1px #777" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </div> </body> </html> ------- The Excel macro filters the passes from 8am to 9pm and with max EL of 10 degrees or more.

I just found an easy way to get a printout off all amateur satellites for the Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Overnight.
I have long been challenged to be able to easily recommend to students a good list of satellites to go track during class hours. Now I have an easy way.
Just go to heavens-above.com and select Amateur satellites - all passes. Then when the page comes up, select PRINT and it comes out to 4 pages. (for me anyway)... When I did it around 1 PM, I got the pages roughly split to the four groups above.
For classes, I can toss the evening and overnight and have two pages for my students to find a pass during class times. These are usually good for several days (not exact times) but for quickly assessing at a glance, what satellites are generally coming over this week during the 8 AM to 6 PM class times.
I do not show them the list, they are supposed to PREDICT a satellite pass time by themselves, but this bundling gives me an easy list from which to suggest good possibilities.
Of course, you have to be sure to enter your ground station location and your latitude will make a difference to the total number of satlliites involved. Your mileage may vary!
