Hi Roy,

To make it official:
You may post your recordings of Veronica's AO-95 beacon to Wikimedia
Commons. 
For proper credit, the voice is that of Veronica Monteiro.  (She is the
daughter of SK VPE Tony Monteiro, AA2TX.) 

The audio used in the Fox-1 beacons is a hybrid version of several
tracks of Veronica's spoken "Hi! This is amateur radio satellite Fox-n"
and "Fox-1n Safe Mode" that were recorded by Burns Fisher, WB1FJ, in
2014-2015.  I edited and processed them to produce the beacons that fit
the duration and audio frequency range requirements of the Fox-1 satellites.

The "Fox tail" is a descriptive tag that someone came up with during
testing I believe, I don't recall who first used it but it became common
use in Engineering that everyone knew what specific trait you were
talking about.  I don't know if that requires any claim or explanation
on Wikimedia Commons, I'm just saying that it is not any kind of
official or copyright/trademark name for the carrier frequency "swoosh".

Thanks!
