Frustrated trying to figure out how to use some satellite tracking software? Using someone elses' computer and don't want to install stuff on it? There's a web page you can use to predict when the next passes are for any of the ham satellites or the space station for any location in the world! Just pick the satellite, enter in your coordinates or grid square and go! Try it here:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/predict/
If you don't know your coordinates or grid square, you can go to http://www.qrz.com and type in your call sign, click "get callsign" then click "detailed info" and there will be both, which is based on a guess QRZ makes using your address on file with the FCC. If you used a PO Box, it might not be completely accurate, but good enough for pass prediction unless you get your mail many miles from home. If you're not a ham and just want to listen to the space station or satellites, or just want to know what your latitude and longitude are, you can use this link to calculate it from your address:

Another webpage based satellite tracker is:

You can click on you location on the map and it will tell you the time of the next pass for you and show you the pass footprint.
