The 'ibp' program helps one with monitoring the beacons of the International Beacon Project, by continuously showing which beacon is transmitting on which frequency, along with the distance and antenna directions.
I am not sure if there are currently any ham radio enthusiasts among gentoo devs, but I suspect there are not... because the packages in media-radio are mostly up for adoption. I suggest you try submitting this to sunrise http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise
Thanks for suggestion. I put the package into sunrise yesterday. It can be found at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/media-radio/ibp I added some more ham radio related packages into sunrise in last weeks and tried to update (or fix) the related ebuilds in media-radio (protage tree and sunrise) with the help of some devs (tnx drac, darkside and others). Maybe we can grow a little bit more activity here.
