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.

Curious.. My Sis just bought a Summer Retreat /Future Retirement place in
Roundup, MT.. DN56 ! We grew up together, so she knows my Radio Mind !
Rare or Needed / Wanted Grid ? Little Reno Work and I am sure I will have
a DN56 Op' QTH anytime I want !
(or /p depending on the Power Line Noise like DN58 has !) Still have to
pay her a visit, and see just how Bad it may be.. also, it may have a
VHF/UHF Op' currently ? Don't see much activity on QRZ in the past though !
