Actually, maybe you've quite clearly pointed out one of the major differences between VHF/UHF/rover contesting and HF contesting.

I've never been a serious contender in a VHF+ contest so I've never asked a top scorer for a copy of his/her log - I figure I have to do some serious VHF+ station building first before I worry about the details top scorers have learned.

I am more competitive on HF and have asked direct competitors for copies of their logs and I always get a positive response.    I've always done the same for people that ask me for a copy.    On HF we all learn from each other.

Is it really true that log sharing just isn't done between VHF+ competitors?
