How do you know this? There is plenty of team contesting at the HF level
(NAQP, NAspring, etc) how do you know it doesn't occur at VHF?

Again, how do you know this? Plenty of ops make pre-arranged sked for a
contest. And if we don't operate in conjunction with other amateurs,
everyone of us would have a score of 0. It takes 2 amateurs to have a QSO.

And what is "the spirit of the rules?"
