the class of licenses that you have or they have has nothing to do with
working vhf/uhf. most hams do not won't to work on getting a station on the
air
to work weak signal vhf/uhf. They can stick a wire in the air and work
stations on hf with ease. It is a lot more to working vhf/uhf. You have to
spend
time and money to get a station on the air that you are happy with.
I have had hams here at my qth and they would say they would never work
vhf/uhf for that reason. I guess that it is a different type ham to want to
hear hours of hiss to finally work someone on these bands. They also think
that if they can run 1000 watts that they can be heard with a vertical
antenna.
If you try to explain to them about the difference in v/h antennas you get a
dazzed look in their eyes.
just my 2 cents worth
