Best source for current satellite status

Is the AMSAT status page the best source for ALL possible Amateur radio satellites that we can access?
I got a new 440 yagi and cant find a satellite to test on .. I know AO-51 would be good, but not in that mode untiul Monday.
And I heard that some of the older satellites only run off the solar array So nitetime passes are unusable?
My capability here is only 2 meter / 70 cm FM. ( for now anyways. )
Thanks for help and input..

Randy, you could do SO 50 or AO 27. I will forward you the weekly bulletin offline

No it is not the best, but gives you an idea.

You can also listen to: FO-29, AO-27, RS-30(Yubileiny), SO-50 these have all 70cm downlink and there are more.
Thanks for help and input..
