It's summer time and a lot of us are operating mobile or portable.
Due to the heat and drought conditions here in the US I have named this summer the "Summer of 100 Degree Passes," commemorating the triple-digit temperatures.
..and you thought I was referring to maximum elevation / TCA in the subject line, didn't you?

Clayton,
100 degree pass? That's nothing her in DM33... 110 is more the norm...... Since my Station is a handheld, I'm standing out in my backyard with sweat running down my eyes while trying to keep track of who on and where the frequency is. Still it fun, though my daughter thinks I'm nuts.

Same temperature here in Imperial Valley, in peak summer we use to reach 120 F and I have been operating outside all the time as Rick do, Patrick WD9EWK also knows the conditions of operating outside here in Souther California Desert.

Us Texans are natively equipped to handle these kind of temperatures so my designation of "Summer of 100 Degree Passes" was intended for our friends in more northern climates. You guys in the southwest have that "dry heat" HI HI
The essentials for any summer time remote operations here: #1 Mosquito repellant #2 Sunblock #3 A large-brimmed hat of breathable material (usually goofy-looking and a perfect fit for nerdy hams)
At least there's one good thing about LEO's for us summer, portable folks: You don't need to be outside very long to work the whole pass.
