In VHF contests you are allowed to arrange or solicit QSOs using
non-amateur means. Usually for most people this means ON4KST chat,
phone calls or text messages.
You are absolutely not allowed to confirm that the QSOs were good. You
can't even say "thanks" over the phone at the end. Ideally once you
start the contact, you say "goodbye" on the phone and hang up...
