Well, I was especific to mention "contest like" 1 d's
1d's make a lot of qsos that help the starting guys get acquainted and
relaxed of the intoleration for slow ops sometimes found in contests.
Those "relaxed contesters" that go 1D and take time to slow down on the CW
and chat with the newcomers are great. That is fun, that is field day!

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.
