VHF: doesn't cover the same distances as HF.
Satellite: there are no reliable high-orbit satellites (and none with
data capability at all), and the low-orbit satellites are only visible a
few times a day for a few minutes each. There aren't many working
low-orbit data satellites either.
I'd say that any experimentation trumps ragchewing anyway, which is
what the regular CW and phone operators are doing. (Sorry if you don't
want to hear this).
On the other hand I'm not in favour of establishing *services* on HF.
For example I'm not happy about Winlink being on HF amateur bands.
