I don’t know what the regulations are in your country (looks like you are maybe in Canada?), but in many countries it is straightforward to get an amateur radio license, and then you can have all sorts of fun (under the rules).

Transmitting on AM broadcast frequencies is generally prohibited unless it meets an extremely low-power exemption , even if you have amateur license(I have a Japanese amateur radio license). A practical way to reduce risk is to put a large resistor before the antenna so the radiated power stays within that exemption. You could start with 100 MΩ; if the receiver cannot pick it up, try 10 MΩ, and so on.
