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.
