I've got a question for those web-design types here.  I've got an HTML code that lets you display the content from an RSS feed on your website, and I'd like to use that for the CAP.gov News feed (for my new squadron website).  The question I've got here is; When you go to the CAP News RSS site, the URL isn't a normal RSS-type URL (such as: http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/rss.xml).  It is displayed as: http://www.cap.gov/shared/RSSFeed.cfm?nodeID=6192&audienceID=4.

How would this work?  Where can I find the specific address to use?

You have the correct URL.
The easiest (but not the only) way to determine what the feed URL is, is to find the button that usually looks something like this: and click it.
The resulting page will have the URL you need right in your address bar, regardless of what it ends with.

Roger that, sir.  Thank you.
