The antenna bandwidth "down there" starts to get "iffy"
as you go lower and lower in frequency (below 500 kc).
So there would be a set of compromises between 
upper-end audio limit, operating frequency and tower 
height.  I'm not saying   not doable   but there would be
some problems in those areas.
