but if it broadcasts in the kW power range, I think there should be enough power arriving at your house just through the air.
Hmm, I dunno. Suppose it goes out spherically (I know, it's lobed, but just to estimate) so the power per unit area goes down with the distance squared. You'd only have to go, say, 100 meters to get a a 10kW/m2 power density to 1 W/m2. So you could maybe get a small glow if you lived next door, but surely this is why we need amplifiers, and power lines for that matter?
