Bob, you have a very nice station and will work some nice DX with it!  
Here are a couple of places to check out for VHF contesting - each will 
have their own links for more info, and remember the ARRL June VHF 
Contest is coming up in a few weeks!  You will also want to check out 
local clubs for VHF/UHF contest activity.

Good luck and 73,
