Make it interesting and get a digital TV set up. Amateur HDTV.

That would be cool...unfortunately, it would also be a price buster, as
I'm not aware of anything remotely inexpensive that would let you
transmit ATSC digital television in SD -- let alone in high definition.

Still, the nice thing is that it would take very little power since low
powered digital signals can travel pretty well.

Actually, they don't travel as well as an analog signal.. In areas where
there is at least a viewable (albeit snowy and/or ghosty) analog signal,
there is no receivable digital signal at all. This is practical experience
in Portland, Oregon, where the analog and digital signals are coming from
~2000' HAAT..
