Here's some really useful information from Bob Heilling (K9PQ) on the weather for Field Day* this year. Its going to be warm. There is little shade on the site, so we need to prepare appropriately.
Lets make a point of reminding folks to bring:
Water or other appropriate cold drinks (this is a no alcohol event)
A hat for the sun
Sunscreen
If folks are planning to help with setup or teardown, we would encourage that they bring safety gear:
A hard hat if they have one (even a bike helmet is better than nothing)
Gloves (your hands will thank you)
Safety glasses
Full cover shoes
Safety vest
So lets get the word out.
Thanks,
