The main thing would be the duty cycle of the HF rig, on AM, you'd need to 
give it a break now and then, but pretty much, change or adapt the connector 
and go. I've often heard stories of stations that went off the air at night 
back when, and were connected to an HF radio and someone getting on the air 
with it.
