We sure treat the June/September VHF QSO Parties like contests around 
here! Where does ARRL state these aren't contests?  

It's amazing how much some of us put into this hobby just for 
contesting (time, if nothing else).  A Rover or portable setup for VHF+ 
is not trivial. When you get to the level of 9 bands, you've put a LOT of 
time and money into it.
