Nope, no problem. I sent another engineer to Arizona for the flight
testing and he came back alive. We had to get a special permit from the
FAA to do the testing. What a real PITA. Oh, and had to get a special
permit from the FCC to run our own cell tower in the Sarasota office. If
you walk back to the lab with your GSM phone, it will lock onto our
antenna and you won't be able to make/receive calls.

I believe they did already, which is what caused my initial post. I
couldn't say anything before.
