Some radio hams already do this for Earth-Moon-Earth transmissions. One 
old 'character' I knew could also light up *unconnected* fluorescent 
tubes at a surprising distance. The tubes made for a very good "bad SWR" 
indicator before the feeds melted... (He also dipped the local mains in 
synch with his morse code tappings...)

(And on occasion, he'd accidentally 'cooked' a few worms and birds. Also 
spectacularly melted a few heavy duty cables...)


You've got a lot of research to do yet...

Good luck,
Martin
