Re: Where to put it?

Surely you mean unoccupied land to the east not west? The atlantic is to the east of cape canaveral. As for a British overseas territory near the equator, Diego Garcia is pretty much taken over by the USAF and is a key ground site for the USA GPS system, however Ascension Island is closer (Atlantic) and is a similar distance south of the equator, 7°56', and it has the perfect name.
