Callum's (M0MCX) point is a very very good one.

To get more people involved in VHF contests, it is vital to open the field
to the "average" ham with vertical antennae and the ubiquitous TS-2000.  A
category for such amateurs would help generate a lot more activity on the
bands in my opinion.  It might even get some "hooked" on contesting and
encourage them to improve their stations!!!

Yes it is not "pure VHF/UHF contesting" (whatever that is!) but it would
generate more activity on the bands and allow more clubs to advertise the
activity nights to their "average" members...
