     @pwm @icedquinn @TheMadPirate @slowfallinward @ageha btw my example was not hypothetical:
     
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Brinkley#Brinkley_and_radio
     
     > In 1932, the Mexican government allowed Brinkley to increase his wattage to 150,000 watts. Several months later, Brinkley was allowed to increase to one million watts, "making XER far and away the most powerful radio station on the planet" that, on a clear night, could be heard as far away as Canada. According to accounts of the time, the signal was so strong that it turned on car headlights, made bedsprings hum, and caused broadcasts to bleed into telephone conversations.[53] Local residents claimed to not need a radio to hear Brinkley's station; with ranchers claiming that they received it through their metal fences and in their dental appliances.

     @pwm @icedquinn @TheMadPirate @slowfallinward @ageha There was maybe two dozen different crank preachers/medical quacks that had mega-powerful radio stations in the early 20th century and did a variety of other insane stuff.
     
     I am serious when I say that world war 2 killed off the most vivacious people on the planet and we're all descendants of the leftovers

     @sun @icedquinn @TheMadPirate @slowfallinward @ageha > Brinkley reacted to losing his medical and broadcast licenses by launching a bid to become the Governor of Kansas, a political position that would enable him to appoint his own members to the medical board and thus regain his right to practice medicine in the state. He kicked off his candidacy just three days after he lost his medical license, using his radio station to help his campaign.
     
     Honestly we do not deserve to live even in the shadow of such singular individuals as this.

     @sun @TheMadPirate @ageha @icedquinn @pwm @slowfallinward also there's no way a 4MW station is going to be worse than this setup: sitting next to a 1MV arc gap right next to the receiver
