Narrative:
I was conducting a multi-engine flight test. AWOS indicated wind was calm. Applicant decided to taxi to runway 06 for departure. Unknown to us aircraft Y with no radio taxied to runway 24 for departure. The ramp and taxiway to 24 were behind us as we taxied toward runway 06.after completing runup; the applicant made the normal CTAF announcements indicating we intended to depart runway 06. Neither the applicant nor I observed any traffic during takeoff or climb.we were later informed that aircraft Y was departing at the same time on runway 24 and that we almost collided over the runway. I do not know if aircraft Y saw us or took evasive action. Because of the slope of the runway; it would not have been possible for either plane to see the other until after takeoff. This could have been a very serious accident and could have been avoided if aircraft Y had been radio equipped.while a calm wind is good for flying; it was a set up for this close call.
