That's impossible. If the radio station was outputting 500,000watts of
power, there wouldn't be enough energy 8 miles away to power a small
flashlight. Assuming there was, using it would not cause a dead area. You
can't suck power out of thin air from radio waves. They are too random in
nature. Even a directional antenna pointed right at your house wouldn't
send enough power in your direction to do you any good, even if you could
harness it somehow, which you can't.
Assuming this story was true, anybody standing between the radio station and
the guy's house would be electrocuted, just like they'd been hit by
lightning. Because essentially, that is what it would be . . . a lightning
bolt arcing from the radio station to the guy's house. -Dave
