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

[Hans BX2ABT]

And I thought people were supposed to be working during the daytime, hi hi!

Anyway, my first ever sat QSO was on CAS-4B and I do see at least one 
station using CAS-4A/B whenever I can monitor them. But YB0NXX is right, 
we can use more operators of linear birds in Asia.
