Actually CW is used up to about 144.250 regularly on Aurora openings and other weak signal openings. The 144.000 to 144.100 has been pretty much set aside for EME and most ops honor that convention. The K1JT suite of digital modes FSK441A and so on are being run from 144.140 plus or minus with 140 as the calling frequency. There is not much of a problem on 2 meters that I know of regarding mode to mode feuds. At least in my part of the country. Of course on the more populated coasts it may be a problem but I have not heard anything to that effect.
