Most contacts on 222 and above are not a result of "finding" stations, but
rather the result of finding someone on six or two and then moving to the
higher bands.
So if you work someone on six or two, ask "do you have any other bands",
and if so, move to those bands right away.
There indeed are fewer stations on 222 than the other three bands, and even
fewer on 1296.

I've been entering various VHF/UHF contests for a few years now. Due to
small city lot restrictions I am
limited to using 100W or less.
I have capability on 6M, 2M, 222MHz, 432MHz and 1.2GHz, but I seem to find
few stations on 222 and 1.2.
I suspect that the more powerful contesting stations have some schedule
that
they use for looking for contacts on
these bands. Can anybody help with some information?
Thanks,
