Frankly (gri n), I'm not up on this at the moment, but there used to be a
frequency set aside for air-to-air communications. If such still exists
that would be the discret frequency to use. Did that frequency get caught
up in the re-distribution of frequencies years ago?

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to this thread. I saw a
lot of useful tips - especially about what frequencies to try, and
practical experience that says this is a feasible option in the
(hopefully rare) cases where the normally planned communication paths
fail.
