Jerry;

I would have to know what type of antenna was in use as well as specific information about the type of ground involved. Most of all you must know the pattern you are required to propagate as you should not interfere with other stations located outside your area. When I was a teenager I obtained my First Class FCC Radio Telephone License - and got to do these types of things. Since I had a Radio Amateurs License I thought I would enjoy a commercial license.

We had a station in San Francisco (Belmont actually) at 1550 khz - classical music. It was not allowed to transmit a signal below Gilroy (about 80 miles south of San Francisco) and could be heard in places as far away as Finland! I believe it was only 10 kw. You would be surprised what 10 kw and a three element phased array could do! Our terrain is not flat which makes things more interesting.
