OK - I'll ask. Why is this satellite not named, "AMSAT-Foxtrot?"

The software guys, being mostly of the Unix persuasion lobbied for something very terse like AMASAT-fo or AMSAT-fx.

There were a few Windows guys who wanted C:\ArerospaceVehicle.Satellite.AMSAT.Foxtrot(FollowOnToECHO-AO51)

AMSAT-Fox came out as a compromise.
