Hello,

I have been looking into getting my HAM radio license and was wondering about how much it costs and how much skill is needed. I have heard that you can talk around the world. I was wondering also if it is possible with "the cheap stuff" I would be doing it for fun and also for the emergency response thingy. Just keep in mind that i am only 14 and am looking for advice. So I can not drive far and need it to fit in with homework.
