 H. C. Shaw hired the KGGM equipment, carried on a specially prepared school bus, and used it to make broadcasts from the various race destinations.In late March the race was scheduled to end a leg in Albuquerque, and the station was set up to broadcast the runners' arrivals followed by their departures the following day.However, a financial dispute led to the race bypassing the city, although the station continued to shadow the racers as they headed east.
