Re: Fox-1B voice
From: Paul Stoetzer

Mineo,

Thanks for the report. The full voice ID is
"RadFxSat Fox-1B Safe Mode."

When the satellite is put into Transponder Mode,
the full voice ID during inactive periods will be
"This is Amateur Radio Satellite RadFxSat Fox-1B."

Also, thanks for your wonderful directory of
amateur satellites. It's extremely useful!

73,
Paul, N8HM
