The mounting bolt on the sat modem footprint is too close to the arduino analog pin row. Putting a standard 4-40 nut on the 4-40 bolt below the shield PCB will require a turning radius shown in the modified expanded keepout circle I added.
Do we just not mount those pins and hope the nut doesn't also hit the arduino header below, or...

the only other thing I could think of is rotating the 9602 90°, which would be a real pain, if even possible to route on a 4-layer board.
