Seems fairly unlikely, but, again, it's the privileges of the control
operator that count.

Now, if you wanted to use the callsign of the station (as opposed to
your own), you'd have to identify with "stationcall/yourcall"
(per 97.119(e)), which would be impractical in a contest, of course!, to
make it clear that an appropriate class of license is being used.
