For the first flight test with the COTS radios we will need code that transmits a short test message so that we can log signal strength throughout the flight to verify our model. The message should be as short so that we can get as many data points as possible. Since the code for the Si4463 is still being worked on in #112, this code should initially use the RFM69HCW class from last year. There should be minimal additional work to convert it to work with the new Si4463, since they should both inherit from the Radio class.
