Yes....I'll often take that opportunity to take the frequency...for
teaching purposes, mind you!

I disagree that calling CQ by a class D station is against the
"spirit" of the event. Even during emergency operations, there are
usually fixed stations operating as net controls, etc. Also, there
are *many* portable club operations put on by people who are not
contesters, and don't understand, or are fearful of, CQing, and only
S&P
I think that without this rule change, a few dozen big Class D
operations could turn FD into their own NAQP, just without the
multipliers.
