I remember that Radio Netherlands made their new antenna farm available to 
hams. I think it was in the late 80's. I've probably got a qsl card of it 
somewhere.

Also, here in West Australia, in the town where I grew up, is a small AM 
station, 6NA on 918kHz. My uncle, VK6XW, was the engineer there along with 
VK6PH and VK6XX. The station used to run from 6am til 11pm each day. On a 
number of occasions, after hours, the guys would fire up the vertical with 
it's 120 radials on 160m. The results were usually quite pleasing according 
to the stories from my uncle.
