There can be unforeseen resonances with on-board reactive components. 
The antenna need not be that long, a few metres may be enough. At 560 
V/m, there could be sparks and smoke. I have seen an AM radio with just 
a fried antenna coupling coil, probably due to a not-very-nearby 
lightning stroke, not even noticed by the receiver's owner

I should be disillusioned, but it's not worth the effort.
