Yes, that does happen.

However, FD can be done at any level, from a one-person show to massive
multi-multi operation with dozens of transmitters on the air and hundreds
of
people involved. The appropriately-callsigned N1FD operation is one
example of
the latter.

Last year I did a low-intensity solo effort - 1B-1 battery. Still made
over
2400 points.

That's basically what I was trying to get at. People can do FD on their own
or with a club but it may be better NOT to split off as a separate club. We
have some members who do FD on their own in our club or they belong to more
than one club already and do FD with them. But they do not go form yet
another club.

I think doing different things year to year is good. Our club tried
different antennas this year for example. Next year I and the OM my try
going on our own just for variety simply to see what two people can do.
