I have a question for #hamradio people.
Is it possible to use AM radio to illuminate LEDs with a dipole antenna attached directly to the leads of the LED?
The local radio station, WLEO, broadcasts at 1170 AM at 200w day and night and what length antenna would I need to do this?
This is for an outdoor art project close to radio station's broadcast antenna.
