That might be the distinction that makes the difference -- I don't know
that the postings I was reading were differentiating between low and

On the other hand, we're going to have to be on our toes, as if the
logic is 'valid' for model rockets, I can easily see it encroaching on
the high-power limits over time.

The >10 rockets, 1.5x altitude rule is for model rockets, not HPR.
For HPR, it says "When conducting a simultaneous launch of more than
one high power rocket I will observe the additional requirements of
NFPA 1127." Personally, I think that is bad wording, since most
people (including myself) don't know what NFPA 1127 says. It seems
like a safety code should be self contained. Luckily the new rules
don't take effect until August, so we will all have time to break out
copies of NFPA.
