IMHO, not necessarily? How about the, "fun" that the 1D operators have? Not 
everyone, myself included, is inclined to operate "while handling 
generators. logging networks, turning antennas manually, the heat creating 
all kinds of disconforts  you know where, the bugs bitting, people asking 
what are you doing?, people asking to give them a chance to operate, people 
stuffing you with more hotdogs your body can handle."? I proposed, several 
years ago, to ARRL that 1D stations be required to append 1D to their CQ, 
to 
keep other 1D stations from calling them, with no benefit to either 
station. 
Unless the rules have changed, that suggestion has not been implemented?

Another simple solution is to simply get a couple marine batteries and 
operate your home station as 1 E.  Then you can work everyonne.
 
See you on Field Day.
