The best way to use the RBN for antenna tests is A/B testing of two 
different ones.  Even then, you will need to average a number of 
alternations before you get a persuasive answer.  Don't forget to QSY at 
least 500Hz between test transmissions, or else the target Skimmer won't 
spot you again until 10 minutes have passed.
