[AT] Garden tractor???/Now RF hazard

Probably not a lot, Charlie. The RF output goes up to the antenna at the
top of the tower and not much will be transmitted directly down to the
area you're mowing.

He's certainly doing something he shouldn't unless he's staying clear of the 
area while the wood is cooking.

I've got a question for those that might know.  I used to mow the guy wire 
lanes for some transmission towers for a local broadcast company.  There 
were three towers.  One was a 100,000 Watt FM and the other two were 50,000 
watt.   The two smaller ones had a chain link fence around the base of the 
tower and the transmitter building with warning signs about RF danger and I 
never went inside them.   The area was covered in rock and there was no need 
to mow.  The big 100,000 watt station had a larger chain link and a much 
larger transmitter building.  On that one I mowed inside and right up within 
4 feet of the base of the transmitter.   I've always wondered how much RF 
load I was getting and how much danger I was in while I was right around the 
base of that tower.   Anyone got thoughts on that?
