This point has been made many times, and I tend to agree with it to
an extent. The FCC never intended for these things to be heard miles
away. A good reason for 100 mW input power, and short antenna.

Ground wires, ground leads, ground connections, on and on and on and on,
all that squabble put aside; The effective range of the radiated signal
could be from 100 feet, if your inside a steel building, up to possibly
miles, ( yes I said miles ) if your antenna is mounted on a 200 foot
pole on top of a 3000 foot high mountain ! 
The main issue is the interference to lisenced broadcasters.
