I remember seeing a web site that calculated if two grid squares were in the same footprint of a satellite.
I can not find it and would like to know if Hawaii is ever possible from FN30. I don't believe it is but hope springs eternal. It will also be useful for the EU passes on RS-44 from the East Coast USA.
Anyone have a link for this calculation ?
Thanks and 73 Frank WA2NDV FN30
https://www.satmatch.com/ Use up to an 8 digit grid square locator.

I have the same question about RS-44 from FN54bb, 160 feet ASL. After DE and NV, my only missing state will be HI. A couple possible passes every year, when the Moon is in Aquarius and the HI station is at 10,000 feet on Maui or the Big Island?
BTW, I’m always happy to sked if anyone needs ME.

https://www.satmatch.com/ takes two grid squares (and a list of satellites) but doesn't account for altitudes.
https://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacDoppler.html lets you do precise locations for two stations. 73, Will

Will,
you are incorrect, satmatch.com does account for altitude, and your ability to work below horizon
click on "Show Extra Options (All extra inputs are optional)"
or just go here https://www.satmatch.com/?advanced
