I know that many Towertalkians are aware of using the RBN for antenna 
testing, but thought you might find my latest blog article at 
<reversebeacon.blogspot.com> interesting.  It addresses specifically how 
you can get spotted by the same RBN node within a few seconds to compare 
antennas while largely avoiding the effect of propagation differences.  
There's also a lot of information about how the RBN works in spotting 
various common and not-so-common callsigns, which may help you improve 
your 'being-spotted" performance
