Roy, I'm just curious why you are not utilizing rule 3.3:
3.3. No class A or B station may begin its set-up earlier than 0000 UTC on the Friday (Thursday afternoon or evening local time) preceding the Field Day period. Cumulative set-up time shall not exceed a total of 24 hours. This Rule allows you setup the antennas in the cool of Thursday eve or Friday so that you don't kill your people Saturday morning.
