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.
