Possibly. Totally depends on the strengths of the signals. Close to

outside your window, you might be able to do it but I would not want
to live there.
Being near anything broadcasting 25 kW or more it would be easy. NEAR
is the important word.

With the amount of RF always traveling through the air, in an average
urban environment if a guy has some magic antenna to stick up and
capture everything flowing through tha point in space, could you steal
that energy and charge a cellphone?
