At a local campground where we camp, there are some power lines just as you
go into the campground. When listening to the AM radio, the signal always
gets much stronger as I drive right under the lines. I've always wondered
what would happen if I sat under them with a mobile and transmitted. Maybe
it would act like an amp :-) 73

Nothing would happen. Do you go on the air of a AM radio station when you
pass it on the highway? No. They are transmitting on your AM radio
RECEIVE frequency and you won't get into their transmission. That is unless
their nearby transmitter audio sectionis wide open and unusually open to
intermod. I would doubt that. By the way under FCC law they can transmit
a
very low power signal on the broadcast band than cant go beyond a certain
number
of feet. They do the same at drivein theaters to replace the drivein
speaker we all remember from the good old days! But who ;paid attention to
movie audio in those days?
