[amsat-bb] Anyone on CAS-4B?!

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Hi Don!

Current pass times for the CAS-4 satellites may have something
to do with the small number of stations, at least for North
America. With pass times in the evening and into the night
right now, many passes would be quiet. Compare that
to late March, when CAS-4 passes were during the daytime
for North America. I had fun working the many passes
on both CAS-4 satellites from locations in Arizona and New
Mexico. When more of the passes are in daylight, or at
least not during the night, you'll hear more stations.

73!
