Hi Ugo, I run a "freebeacon" here and when triggered, will transmit back to you or ident
every 15mins on Mode 700E on 7177 KHz LSB as it's the only 40m frequency mentioned on QSO.freedv.org. That is what you need over there in Europe. Yes it ties up one transceiver here and one antenna but it puts a signal out 24x7. Being in a suburban backyard, suffers from horrendous interference, in particular the HFC cable phone system.
