[amsat-bb] Who is Midori ?

[Wouter Weggelaar]

I can offer a better explanation ;)

It's the daughter of Steve Greenland, the UKube-1 systems engineer. He got
to pick the default CW beacon and the AX.25 TO Address when ordering the
radio, and picked his daughters name.
Midori means green in Japanese If I understand it correctly, which makes it
a nice name in combination with her last name Greenland.

73s
