I would agree with W9RM that DN56 is not very common on 6 meters or 2. The
FFMA Rare Grids Survey and Map - maintained by Bill Ockert, ND0B and Jim
Skjervem, KS7S http://www.arrl.org/ffma last updated March, 2017, shows DN56
needed by 25% of the "FFMA leaders" surveyed. You would draw plenty of callers
in the June VHF contest and the CQ VHF. The "rarest" FFMA grid was DM02
followed by CN77.

It's not the rarest of grids but not very common, either. I think you
would draw a crowd.
DXMaps last DN56 spot was in 2012 and guys have gone there on rover
expeditions.
