I recall a rule that commercially licensed stations must take the effects of 
their tower on nearby BC stations into consideration, but I have never seen 
anything in Part 97 requiring  hams to take a similar precaution, nor have I 
ever heard of a ham receiving a notification that his antenna was causing a 
problem.  As I recall, even a 50 ft tower as far as a mile away may affect the 
directional pattern of some AM BC arrays.
