Clint,
I already have a suggestion in that when be get to "M" we name it
"Murgatroyd." The response so far makes that seem unlikely, even if I am
willing to pay for it myself.

Hello Dee,
Slight correction on your phonetics.
Should read: Delta Echo Echo November Bravo Figure Two Foxtrot
Could not help but to chime in here. Keep your comments coming!
Still smiling.

Alan,
I'd go for that one.
But then I've had cars named Maude, Mabel, Sylvester, Walter, & Myrtle,
Telescopes named Gert, Polly & Pierre.
Maybe I'm not the best one to ask on this?

Alan,
You said 'Willing to pay for it'.
In my mind, this brings up an interesting fundraising possibility. Of
course, this would revolve around how much the project management and
engineering Cared about having their own pet-name for a project.
How about a "Pay to Name The Sat" drive, that could work like this:
- You take submissions for satellite names from anyone via web-submission
* Restrictions on the allowable names would be clearly defined during
submission!!
- The BOD or Lead Engineers would come together and choose the top 5
- Then you have a website, where people can donate N dollars for the name
they like the most.
- Whichever name receives the most $'s by a certain date, would be the name
that is chosen to fly!
All proceeds to go the Amsat project.
Just a thought,
Joseph Armbruster

Think of it as an "American Idol" for choosing the name of a satellite,
except to vote, you have to donate :-)
