... "OSCAR" stands for Orbital Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio ...
Why was it changed to "OrbitING Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio?"
Did "Orbital" just sound too geeky for the masses?
YES - the early citations from the 1960s had it as "Orbital."
WHO changed it to "Orbiting" ???
Clint, K6LCS Husband of the woman who owns the domain, thegrammarbitch.com ... (grin)
