I have a suggestion - do not get on 160m on the weekend 
this contest is going on.  That is what I do.

There are quite a few bands to choose from besides 160 meters 
during this ONE weekend that 160 is full of SSB signals that you 
clearly do not want to work.  

I do not see how this is any diffrent than 20 meters during
the CQ WW SSB contest or ARRL SS.
