What I tell people in our club when talking of VHF contests, is that on
HF, contacts are inevitable. Any random wire hanging outside is going
to snare you contacts, while on VHF+ it can be a battle finding folks
at all. During the CQ contest one member who participated and said
he'd had a paradigm shift after that, understanding that it really felt
different.
So to me, thats a reason. I know there are more.
