Here's how I see it:

The BBS will probably not  be in use 100% dutycycle during 
Field Day.  And your station will not add any more
than say 1% load to the channel.  I dont think that that 1% 
increase will bother the BBS that much for this one day...

Lets say three of you beacon once every 5 minutes during FD.
That is 3 seconds out of every 300 or about 1%.   Not much.

Hope that helps.
