/* Hamshield
 * Example: Morse Code Beacon
 * 
 * Test beacon will transmit and wait 30 seconds. 
 * Beacon will check to see if the channel is clear before it 
 * will transmit.
 * Connect the HamShield to your Arduino. Screw the antenna 
 * into the HamShield RF jack. Connect the Arduino to wall 
 * power and then to your computer via USB. After uploading 
 * this program to your Arduino, open the Serial Monitor to 
 * monitor the status of the beacon. To test, set a HandyTalkie 
 * to 438MHz. You should hear the message " CALLSIGN HAMSHIELD" 
 * in morse code.
