Prem - see my reply of this date to Alan.  There is no provision for 
"private beacons" except in 27 MHz R/C channels and 49 MHz low-power 
(non-licensed) channels.  Anything except those requires special 
eligibility and licensing.  The VOR is totally impractical for this 
purpose, unless you want to live at an existing VOR site.
  
Contrary to your statement, operation of ANYTHING at VHF or UHF or 
higher requires licensing and eligibility ( which means that one has to 
meet certain requirements before a license can even be granted, such as 
specific types of businesses, etc.) except for mini-power stuff - 20 ft range.
  
And again, there are no provisions for "private beacons".
