Legitimately, I don't think so. Despite that, made-up NDB approaches
based on a local commercial transmitter have turned up on local
instrument checkrides, and a Cape TRACON controller once told me of
getting grief from management for inventing a VOR approach into
Provicetown for pilots who wanted practice VOR approaches in the area,
Cape Cod only having one VOR approach, and that at the other end of it in
a busy bit of airspace.


Funny about using AM radio stations as NDBs. That's why the CONELRAD
alert system was invented -- to thwart the evil enemies' navigation! Of
course, NDBs are going away but we still fund improvement to the
Emergency Alert System. So why can't they be used to log approaches?
