Can the 760khz output from my vttc be picked up on AM radio?

I would just try it and see if it works, but believe it or not I don't actually have an AM radio except the one in my truck.

My VTTC is running right around 760khz. If I set an AM radio to that frequency, would it pick up the buzz from the coil? Or am I thinking about this wrong?

I would think so.
A friend of mine built one and I could hear it at my place on the AM band

Edit
forgot to say he was a couple of miles away

So my friend just brought over a little AM handheld radio and we tried this and it definitely works!

And everyone for miles around will probably hear it too!
