[aprssig] RFID antennas

[Scott Miller]

I haven't been following this thread in any detail... did anyone mention 
the RFID tag system used for tracking attendees at HOPE last weekend? 
Or was that what brought this up in the first place?

I couldn't find any details on how they were determining positions, but 
the hardware looks cheap enough.  I only stumbled across it because Ed 
Cummings from PopComm called me to ask some questions about my ADS-SR1 
simplex repeater for a talk he was giving there.
