14.100 is the frequency of the IARU propagation beacons. This is the one frequency in the band you should NOT be calling CQ on. I suggest you look at the bandplans (available on the RSGB website and elsewhere).

SSB should be above 14125 with most of the activity between 14200 and 14300. The major contest this weekend is cQWW RTTY, around the data frequencies below 14100 and above CW (up to 14070) but will spread a little, but still leaving the beacon slot clear.
