Remember, with Field Day in progress, to keep safety first. Weather wise, that includes intense heat, and thunderstorm potential.
With the heat, the towers will be HOT, and you can burn yourself without proper protection.
With thunderstorms, the towers are a huge lightning rod. Lightning can strike as much as 20 miles from the parent thunderstorm…so, if you note storms developing, get off the tower, go QRT, unplug immediately, and go to a safe indoor shelter. Remain there for at least 30 minutes until after you hear the last rumble of thunder.

Also, use caution when refilling generators with gasoline. And, avoid alcoholic beverages…these, combined with the hot temperatures, will rock your world in a bad way, with dehydration.
