Computer programs SatPC32, Orbitron, MacDoppler, and probably others
will do this. If you give me your grid square and what sats you want
and the exact time range I will generate the list for you.

Or you can literally copy and paste each whole page (24 hrs of passes) to Excel, and then filter as needed. I don't use the AMSAT predicts page much since it only allows you to select one satellite at a time. One issue with the Heavens Above web interface is that CAS-4A is excluded for some reason.
