The underlying question is "why are there fewer stations to work in a VHF 
contest?".  People operate because: 1> It's fun.  2> There's a reward.

Why aren't VHF Contests as fun as HF contests are?  I propose that is because 
VHF contests are simply HF contests that are "tweaked" for VHF frequencies.  A 
whole new world of VHF fun could be opened up if someone would take a moment, 
step back and realize what is (or can be) uniquely fun about a VHF contest and 
write the rules to exploit it to increase the fun factor.
