Rob,

You can be sure of the path taken by observing the used path elements in the received packet. 

Of course this means actually looking at the packets received, but if Dan is interested in experimenting like this, then he and his buddy will need to be doing just that. 

I am interested in hearing why Dan is trying this experiment. 

Much more fun than just the usual “I want to tell the world the temperature in my back yard every 5 minutes.” type of stuff. 

Experimenting on RF is the heart of amateur radio!

Probably a good idea, if you want it to be RF only.

Otherwise, you can't be sure.
