You're not going to be able to dump in the middle of the ham bands.  Go get your license and the problem is resolved.

A suggestion. The FCC allows experimental licensing. It may be possible for a
group of Radio Meteor Observers to make application for one or more beacons in
North America.

Possible reference from FCC:

see sections: 5.91 and 51.10 for a start.
