 *
 * The stbroadcast module provides stubborn anonymous best-effort local area
 * broadcast. A message sent with the stbroadcast module is repeated until
 * either the message is canceled or a new message is sent. Messages
 * sent with the stbroadcast module are not identified with a sender ID.
 *
 * \section channels Channels
 *
 * The stbroadcast module uses 1 channel.
