Oh, absolutely. I noticed that I can see the towers of the 50 kW station
from my roof!

There's an old adage about "if life hands you lemons, make lemonade." With
that kind of field strength (a rough estimate from a chart I found indicates
about 0.2v/m or so at your QTH) I'd think you could hook a wire to a tuned
circuit on the BC station's frequency and then rectify the RF from it to
charge a small battery and let them foot the bill for some of your energy
needs. You might even be able to run a K1 etc. on it. (My comment is based on
remembering plans for a simple "free power" radio in a mag some years ago.)

I live about 3.3 miles from a 50 kW BC station on 1080 kHz. It is on
24 hours a day, transmitting in Arabic, not that that matters.
