critical of Lightsquared, and Philip Falcone gets irritated, he might
not contribute any more cash to the Democratic party cause. That will
be bad for appointed officials and party hacks. So, they play it safe

gain and power out are kept to a minimum, and the antennas are
properly oriented, there should be no problems.
