Actually, maybe you've quite clearly pointed out one of the major differences 
between VHF/UHF/rover contesting and HF contesting.

I've never been a serious contender in a VHF+ contest so I've never asked a top 
scorer for a copy of his/her log - I figure I have to do some serious VHF+ 
station building first before I worry about the details top scorers have 
learned.

I am more competitive on HF and have asked direct competitors for copies of 
their logs and I always get a positive response.    I've always done the same 
for people that ask me for a copy.    On HF we all learn from each other.

Is it really true that log sharing just isn't done between VHF+ competitors?
