FM is a much lesser used mode on VHF contests for reasons already stated.  But 
if you have nothing else for a particular band than fm and can make some Q's by 
using it, great!  

The use of repeaters is banned in all contests.  However, I heard of a sneaky 
way around it, that being to go on the output frequency of the repeater to work 
those listening.  Not going through the repeater makes it legal and the output 
frequency is ours to use, right?

Wish they would ban the use of 50.125 for contesting as has been done with 
146.520.
