What kind of antenna? 4 messages
What kind of antenna do you all use if you are an activator? I have a LNR Trail Friendly End Fed and just got a Packtenna for Christmas. I use a 12m Spiderbeam pole with a homemade drive on base.

RBN Question 4 messages
Here is something I never quite understood. I hear some people say the RBN will pick you up at a park. How does the RBN know I am at a park? Is it because I cam calling CQ POTA, or CQ 44, or CQ WWFF?
