Of course they do. "Active Runway" means any runway or runways currently
being used for takeoff or landing.

And if more than one are in use, how does anyone know which one is
pertinent?

Who declares the "active" at an uncontrolled field?



This happens at an airport near me all the time (just happens to
be an ex-WW2 air base). When the wind is blowing out of the
NW, those who park their airplanes on the east side of the
airport typically use runway 34. Those who park on the SW
side of the airport use runway 29 (I've seen both runways being
used all day long).
