A noble cause but difficult to enforce.
Your other choices, if the word just doesn't get out to ALL contestors, is to
waste a lot of time chasing uninformed contestors away from your freq, which in
essence will go on for as long as there is any propagation on 14.300 or since
you also know, in advance that the contests are coming, try using some
alternate solutions.
One might be to move your net to 17 mtrs which has as good as
20 mtr propagation most of the time. You may want to run a few practice nets in
advance to see how 17 works and to let people be ready for the time when you
may have to QSY.
I know it would be great if all contetsors stayed at least 3 kHz away
from 14.300, but to be practical, it isn't going to happen anytime soon.
Most contestors really do not want to interfere with your net but no matter how
hard you try...you will waste a lot of time and effort chasing the UNINFORMED
contestors away.
