CQVHF actually thought of how VHF operations occur when developing new rules.
Instead they should always refer to the gold standard of HF contest rules.
If they needed new rules they could have looked to the HF world and found these
useful ideas:
Contacts between stations in the same grid are permitted for multiplier credit
but have zero (0) point value.
Special QSY Rule: If any station solicits a call (by sending CQ, QRZ?, "going
up 5 kHz," or any other means of soliciting a response, including completion of
a QSO where the frequency was inherited), they are permitted to work only one
station in response to that solicitation. They must thereafter move at least 1
kHz before calling another station, or at least 5 kHz before soliciting other
calls. Once a station is required to QSY, that station is not allowed to make
another QSO on the vacated frequency until or unless at least one subsequent
QSO is made on a new frequency.
Phone, CW and Digital (non-CW) modes on a band are considered as separate
bands. A station may
be worked only once per band under this rule.
Satire mode off.
