Motivation

Several buoys and lighthouses have a Racon (radar beacon) that is transmitting a single letter code in morse, when triggered by a (ship's) radar. This letter would be a helpful addition to wikidata-items on these. It is mentioned in infoboxes at e.g. enwiki (see above) and nlwiki. Lymantria (talk) 07:19, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
