// Si5351_WSPR
//
// Simple WSPR beacon for Arduino Uno, with the Etherkit Si5351A Breakout
// Board, by Jason Milldrum NT7S.
// 
// Original code based on Feld Hell beacon for Arduino by Mark 
// Vandewettering K6HX, adapted for the Si5351A by Robert 
// Liesenfeld AK6L <ak6l@ak6l.org>.  Timer setup
// code by Thomas Knutsen LA3PNA.
//
// Time code adapted from the TimeSerial.ino example from the Time library.

// Hardware Requirements
// ---------------------
// This firmware must be run on an Arduino Zero capable microcontroller
//
// Required Libraries
// ------------------
// Etherkit Si5351 (Library Manager)
// Etherkit JTEncode (Library Manager)
