As you may know, WB5JJJ suggested using a separate frequency on 6m for contest mode FT8, and leaving 50.313 for those running normal FT8 format.  I tend to think this might work out fairly well, but it didn't gain much traction on the WSJT group where he posted the suggestion.

But this wouldn't necessarily result in much less QRM/pile-up depth...perhaps a factor of two reduction
