I thought Nikola Tesla already did that.

In 1752 Thomas-François Dalibard erected a 40-foot (12 m) iron rod at Marly-la-Ville, near Paris, drawing sparks from a passing cloud. - wikipedia

So people have basically been there, done that.

The amount of current that can be obtained is very small, unless this device is very close to the transmitter. (Intensity falls off in inverse proportion as the square of the distance from its source)

The principle is sound; but how do you get enough power to make this worthwhile ?

We will soon get a key and a kite kit. If you sent away for Covid Test kits, you are already on the list...so don't fret.

And a shirt that says...

Here's what Bing's Copilot says: The amount of current induced in a radio by a transmission from a radio tower depends on several factors, including the strength of the transmitted signal, the distance from the tower, and the design of the radio’s antenna.

In general, the induced current is typically very small, often in the microampere (µA) range. This is because the radio receiver is designed to detect and amplify weak signals. The antenna captures the electromagnetic waves transmitted by the radio tower, and these waves induce a small alternating current in the antenna. This current is then processed by the radio’s circuitry to produce sound.

My opinion: You'll get some current flowing. It should be enough to power micro-circuity. Sounds like it would be useful in a place where there's no other source of power. The energy recovered would be free, and unlikely to ever run out.
