Ham radio

Where would I begin my journey in learning to operate a ham radio or the like? Is it possible to have one without spending a fortune? It's probably my biggest weakness in my preps. It's something I've put off for too long now. I need to rectify this weakness.

IIRC Licensing is needed, right? Why?

Ensures basic technical and operating competency. Definitely keeps the niggers off the air

Fair enough. I don't suppose it can be too hard to learn. I have a couple barely competent friends from years ago that had hams.
