Thanks to Matthew/W2MDW, I now have an Etherkit OpenBeacon to play with.
It's a kit that I've been thinking of getting to play with in the near future. The one Matthew sent me was one of the early beta models and has had some modifications done to it, but it works. He didn't have much time to mess with it anymore and thought I could put it to good use.
I'll need to get an antenna for it and figure out how to program it, but it shouldn't be hard to get on the air.
It looks like a pretty easy kit to build, so I'll probably pick up one of my own to assemble and get up and running. Looking forward to getting this one going and seeing who picks up the signal.
I wonder how hard it would be to modify to broadcast on 6m.
