Simple - there's no strict definition of what constitutes a "participant". It
usually means anyone who participates in any meaningful way.
Consider the following FD tasks:
- planning
- getting permissions to use a site, set up antennas, etc.
- rounding up equipment, including rentals
- getting publicity
- carting stuff to the site & back
- setting up & taking down
- operating & logging
- support services (keeping the generator running, feeding the multitude,
fixing stuff that breaks)
- writing up and sending in the report
etc.
Wouldn't you consider someone who does even one of the above as a
participant? Could be something as simple as the person who drops off a generator or
other vital piece of equipment at the site at the beginning of FD and picks it up
at the end.
IMHO, the more the merrier.
