Yes. There are a whole bunch of Ole' Buzzards who are buying, or 
rescuing from the dump, ex-BC transmitters of various kinds and 
converting them for ham bands. About 50% end up on 160, the 
remainder are about evenly split with some being 160, 80, some 
160,80,40, and some even being all-band including WARC.

Many of these people hear about some BC stations wanting to dump its 
old AM gear, and arrive at the back door or loading dock with a truck, 
sometimes rental, and lots of physical help, then haul it away "...for 
free...". 

Nice job, if you can get it, and have the room for it.
