Hmmm. WSB here in Atlanta has a transmitting tower that USED TO BE out in 
the  boonies. Over time, Altanta expanded and eventually a SHOPPING MALL 
was erected around the WSB tower. 

It stands there today. 50 kW of power at 750 kHz day and night, in the 
middle of the parking lot for the mall. You can't get within about 50 
feet of the tower, because of a protective wall, but most of the shopping 
complex is within range of the guy wires.

If that isn't an "uncontrolled" space, I don't know what is....
