[CQ-Contest] 14.300? - a "thinking out of the box" idea

For the record, I loved N6KI's idea.

But if this is real emergency traffic, then what about moving the dedicated 
emergency frequency to one that is virtually guaranteed to always be clear, 
and yet will still have the same propagation characteristics as 14.300. For 
example, how about 14.353 or 14.140 ?

If I understand the rules correctly, either of these are perfectly legal for 
emergency use.  Would that solve the problem?  The QRG would nice and quiet 
all the time until a "mayday" breaks the silence.

I'm sorry for my ignorance in not knowing what transpires on 14.300, but 
from reading the mail, this seems viable to me.
