I like your RBN testing - nice idea.  I wonder if the process could be
automated to some extent by using WSPR.  By proper programing you could
alternate antennas.  Might be an interesting to try.  This way you could let
it run over a period of time, and collected.  Data is gathered in SNR and 6
digit grid.  Data can then be analyzed and presented in a suitable format.

Yes, with any evaluation of antenna performance, more data from more points over greater time is better.

We did what we could easily do without that automation. I don't know enough about WSPR to know the extent to which two QRP rigs at the same site could TX with different callsigns in alternate transmission cycles. Another limitation is the number of WSPR stations active on 80M with antennas good enough to hear us.
