BUT....take Myrddin's advice. PLEASE> It's not that hard. People jumping on breaking emergency communications would destroy the system.

Indie is correct, you don't have to have a ham license to buy a transciever. Maybe you would want to do that if you think you would be serious about getting a license. I can attest to the book that Myrddin refered you to. I used the first version of it about 12 years ago to get my first license. It would be worth picking up a used one; I'd give you one if I had one. It doesn't take that much time to learn what you need to know. If you are dedicated, you can easily learn everything in less than a month. Just study a little each day.
