Was able to work KB6LTY on both satellites. Very strong and clean signal. Heard myself to 1° (mountains prevent lower elevations), with the edge of the footprint close to Newfoundland, Canada.
Glad we have two more satellites to play with!

Transponder looks cleaner than the other XW sats, no beats or pulse signals noticed so far. QSOs on CAS 4A and CAS 4B this afternoon with PU2RAS, LU2DPW and LU2FGL. 73 Ed PY2RN

I was able to hear my voice through CAS-4A and 4B transponders tonight under one degree of elevation using ~5 watts into 10' of LMR-240uf and a 4 element 70cm / 2 element 2m "Short Arrow" yagi. Very easy satellite to work with minimal power.
