I’m a licensed HAM. I basically never touch the stuff at the moment. I want to get a good HF radio, but it’s so expensive and I might also be losing my job.
If you are in the US, do not use it unlicensed unless you want a visit from the FCC and I think federal charges.

To just get in the air if you can’t borrow one, look into QRP radios. They’re under 10W, but thats enough to go thousands of miles in good conditions with even a halfway tuned antenna. You can get kits for under $40 if you dont mind soldering, and not much more if you want assembled.
Listening alone is fun, and you do not need any license for that!
