Alternatively, give the little pistol a shot. I've said many times;
introduce a Vertical antenna category. There's zillions of TS2000's out
there with a G5RV for HF and a V2000 for 6m, 2m and 70cms.

Unfortunately I was engaged elsewhere. However note the contrast with 
VHF contests. Huge QRM must mean the format is working extremely well 
unlike the VHF contests. Something to be learnt?

Is it that a few excellent located VHF stations dominate while 80m 
location is not such a deciding factor and thus more people find the 80m 
contests worthwhile, fun and a test of skill? How about looking for a 
VHF format that puts the well located stations in a different category 
from the majority? Introduce an excellence category? Example: If you 
came in the top ten in any of the previous years VHF contests then have 
to be in the excellence category? Then kudos for being in the excellent 
category and those with more normal locations compete among themselves.
