Just as a follow up, we launched on the waiver back in December. I didn't know exactly what to say when calling in to open it up on the day of, but we figured it out on the phone. Unfortunately, we did not anticipate the sheer number of people who would be out there over the holidays. While we were used to seeing a few people along the way, there were literally hundreds. So we weren't able to do anything high power in the end :-/
But we still had a fun launch and scoped out the area better. It will serve us well as an alternative but can't be wholly relied on for high power given that there is access for others. I'm actually curious what others do when operating on state land with the potential for visitors in areas that you can't control, nor can you see.
