I would not think that it would be unsafe Javier.  The safe field strength 
at 2 MHz is 60 V/m.  You could put the antenna up, measure the field 
strength using a lower power, then make your conclusion about what it would 
be at higher powers.

A far more likely problem is that you will cause problems with telephones 
and other electronic equipment.
