We've never had much of a VHF setup for FD before at my club.  I think one 
year we had 50 and 144 MHz.  If there are a few stations in my area (we'll 
be in EN50vc) that will be active on 2m CW/SSB, I may take along my rig 
and portable 2m yagi and set it up to see if I can work anybody.

But that's a good question; probably since FD isn't officially a "contest" 
you can just work people up the bands if you wish and if you have someone 
to work up the bands.
