During the contest try 160M on the hour starting about 0200. Many stations
go there looking for Q's and mults for 10-15 minutes.
And on Saturday night call CQ on topband on the hour. Besides mults they
will be looking for Q's too.

My educated guess is that these contest expeditions will NOT be spending
much (if any) time on 160M because the QSO rate would be MUCH slower than on
the higher bands. The most they might do is try to grab a few multipliers,
and they would be looking for low hanging fruit. The times to find them on
160M is before and after the contest, which runs from 00Z Saturday to 00Z
Monday. (That's a Friday evening start in North America).
