Tradition has it that you put in one card from each of the continents (don't
forget Antartica!) and it has to be a real card, not a made up one.  It
helps if you arrange them in the appropriate directions around the base.
You can also inscribe "EU" and such in the concrete before it sets, too.
That helps the electrons know which way to shoot the RF.
