Topband: ARRL DX 160 Phone - worth a try?

[Tree]

There is some chance you can scare up a CX - but many of the others will
required a focused operation.

The ARRL DX contest isn't that big of an event for most of the DX out
there.

Maybe asking K3LR or W3LPL to see what they typically work on 160 might
help in this contest might help.
