Very possibly. Harmonics can do as much damage as the fundamental
frequency. But it appears to me, from reading both on and between the
lines, that money was the driver here, as it always is. The contractor
led
the agency down the primrose path, claiming 80% completion when it was
actually only 20%, or similar figures. The new administrator was not
amused. Rather than simply rap some knuckles, the entire program was
cancelled, thus punishing all aviation interests.

The whole WAAS/LAAS mess has been circling the drain since Kenneth Mead
found Garvey in violation of the Inspector General's Act; for exceeding her
Authority signing WAAS contracts. There are better ways for FAA to spend
the aviation trust fund.
