Don't get your hope up. Roughly 40 years ago, I did that, along with 
another ham, at a daytimer for which another ham friend was the chief 
engineer. As I recall, the station was around 830 kHz, and was in a 
northwestern Chicago suburb. We had no problem loading the tower, but 
couldn't hear a bloody thing, even after trying to rig a Beverage the 
second night. Zero QSOs.
