People regularly mix up "broadcasting" with "transmitting" when discussing ham radio. I'm sure it was just a mistake and not their intent to suggest this was going to be some sort of broadcast system intended for a general audience.

Call it beacon. Perhaps a beacon more "useful" to amateur radio operators than some university bird beaconing a 9K6 GMSK stream of unknown format in the ham bands.
