What just is proper protocol for me calling CQ from fn02nw? top of the minute
or bottom of the minute? for me with someone else east of me?

Does anyone have experience using WSJT to make random contacts
in VHF/UHF contacts? That is, calling CQ on a specific frequency
without skeds and making contacts? Do you work enough additional
contacts and grids to make it worthwhile?

Yes. More and more people are finding it productive to CQ on the
WJST calling frequencies of 50.260 and 144.140. I've been doing it
for years, both from home and our limited-multi-station. There's usually
not a whole lot else to do that time of the morning when you're only
on the bottom 4 bands.
Just be sure you use proper protocol concerning sequencing and the use
of UP/DWN cues. The more popular the calling freqs become, the more of
a zoo they will be !
I am time limited for the Jan contest so I've told everyone who asked
about skeds that I would work them if I heard them on the calling freqs.
With regard to mobile WSJT.....welllll, I kinda doubt it'll work.
