Horizon Rebuilt at Hudson Ranch on a J530IM with MAWD as backup

TeleMetrum v0.2 board with off-board amplified patch antenna.

It appeared that the MAWD with 1 second delay actually fired nearly at the
same time as the TM at apogee (only one event seen, but both charges blew).
We hypothesize that this generated enough force for the nose cone shear pins
to snap as the main was out shortly after the apogee charges fired.  At the
expected altitudes, we saw both main charges fire and smoke come from the
correct end of the airframe through binoculars.  Fortunately, winds were
light.

The GPS fix from TM got us to within 15 feet of the rocket.
