Narrative:

At mcc; VFR; with IFR clearance; short taxi to runway 34. Switched from CTAF to norcal for IFR release. Released immediately 10 min void time; switched back to CTAF. Announced taxiing onto runway 34 for departure; cleared final and runway; no TA's or callouts. When lined up for departure; I thought I saw something on far end of runway. It turned out to be another aircraft clearing the runway coming toward us. At no time did I hear any calls from this other aircraft. We departed when runway was clear. After departure we heard a derogatory call from I assume the traffic. I advised none of his calls were heard if he made any. 1) we were off CTAF approximately 1 min getting IFR release. 2) always assign someone to monitor CTAF 100% of the time. 3) the far end (departure end) of runway 34 at mcc difficult to see due to distance (10000 ft) and buildings at that end of runway off airport.
