Sorry guys. I guess I should have double checked that. I thought we had
another nearly 300K score but I didn't see it in the chart and thought that
my brain had just gone out again. Ok, so it is our second highest score
from Mile High Campground. Still a damn fine job. I agree with Brian that
we should be able to break 300K in a June contest. I know that we need to
do some more work in the microwave category. As I said in my previous post
microwaves contributed 41K to the score. If we had been able to make more
903 Qs and make some Qs on 3456 I think the microwave contribution would
have been even more significant. What we need is at least one rover that
has 903 through 3456. Bob and I will be discussing and working on that.
