Although I am pretty sure that in the UK people can use the ISM bands for research without a licence, as long as they personally ensure conformity to any technical requirements and IR2030, I have asked OFCOM to confirm this. I am awaiting a response. My thoughts are it is easier for OFCOM just to confirm this than ask, "is this legal?".
At 8m this means a beacon can not be more than 10mW ERP. We already know this can cover a local area well on WSPR and could probably be copied in Europe by Es.
What happens in your country is not known.

If your remote control boat was told to go around the pond for 15 seconds and then the remote control TX sent an FT8 'broadcast' for the following 15 seconds as an indentifier could the TX be 100mW ERP?
