First up let me say that contests are not my cup of tea, however if I was going to get into VHF UHF contesting the biggest issue is resources.
I don't have the time, money, expertise or will to get into microwave so 23 and up is off limits. It also tends to be where the scores are due to the multipliers.
Thus, if you don't have the µwave gear you ain't in the running, if you ain't in the running there is little to attract one to spend the time and money.
You would/may be interested if Microwave was not involved? so rather than below 3GHz you would prefer below 1 GHz? Thanks for that - I actually think that is where most people are at...
