No. He isn't.
Nobody governs the operations of my station except the
FCC and the contest sponsor if, and when, I choose
to "enter" the contest (i.e., submit a score).
If I turn on the radio and hear N4ZZ working the NAQP,
I am under ZERO obligation to reduce my power to 100
watts. Similarly, in a strange quirk, if I'm not in
the contest then I don't even have to cede my
frequency in Sprint...
