Quoting the FCC link above:

"Carrier Current stations and Campus Radio stations do not require a license to set up and operate."

(Emphasis added.)

Interesting! The rules for AM carrier current appear to be more similar to the FM rules, that is they are based on field strength readings that result in a roughly 200ft range.

There is probably a bunch of subtlety about where you measure from as your antenna could be quite large.
