Sounds like you have a good start.  For years I've been trying to push
FM contesting around here as well.
http://ka5cvh.com/radio/vhf/contest.htm It largely falls on deaf ears,
but my suggestion the biggest thing to change is attitude towards FM
and contesting among "contesters".  Its my opinion that not enough
well equipped multi-band / multi-mode contesters seem to ignore FM.
Just my $.02
