Mineo,

Thank you for the note. Upon startup, the Fox-1 satellites are in
"Beacon Mode" with transmissions limited to ten seconds prior to
commanding. What you heard was "Fox-1 Delta, Safe" before the ten
second timer expired. If you listen again today, you'll hear her say
the full "Fox-1 Delta, Safe Mode" announcement. When Fox-1D, now AO-92,
is in transponder mode, but without any activity, the beacon message
will be "Hi! This is amateur radio satellite Fox-1 Delta."

The voice is that of Veronica Montiero, the daughter of AMSAT VP
Engineering Anthony Montiero, AA2TX, who was the "founding father" of
the Fox CubeSat program but sadly became an SK in 2014. The original
specifications for the Fox-1 satellites called for a MCW beacon on the
FM carrier, but that was changed to Tony's daughter's voice in his honor.

73,
Paul, N8HM
