[TransAtlantic] Azores 2M beacon?

[Dave Olean K1WHS]

This looks like a worthy enterprise for the club. We should investigate the 
possibility of actually having an SDR there that can receive a small swath 
of the band listening for signals. That would even better than a beacon. Not 
sure there is any internet BW available there though.

Greetings-
My friend Jaime Eloy CU3K is agreeable to installing and maintaining a two 
meter beacon which between us we have two probable sites on the western 
end-side of Terceira. One is at maximum elevation (without looking it up, 
around 3,500') and another is just above seaside - both would have clean 
over water shots towards eastern USA while the elevated would also have a 
360 degree sweep being the highest region on the island. Someone needs to 
arrange for the beacon's creation, there is an American ham currently 
stationed at the air base there and shipping could be through his stateside 
address to avoid hassles. Jamie is technically sharp and a very dedicated 
ham - and understands the possible importance of such a device 24 x 7.
