Rover here, too.
Well, the dates do not really bother me.  But, THE TIMES!!!
I had to read the web page <https://cqww-vhf.com/rules/> several
times to believe it.
This means it's a Saturday-only contest for me.
And the earlier hours on Saturday do me no good.
I rarely ever had a "SSB/CW/FM" QSO before 9 AM local in any of the VHF
contests -- going back nearly 2 decades.  Add to that the Local/regional
VHF SSB/CW/FM (contest) activity has collapsed over the last half-dozen
years or so.

My preliminary, back-of-the-napkin plans would be to operate 1500z to
0200/0300z on Saturday only.  If at all...

It seems like a good scheme to take SSB/CW/FM completely out of CQ VHF
contesting.
