VHF ham gear is much less expensive than exports, not to mention the potential legal fees you could pay if you choose to operate illegal power from a fixed and thus easily triangulable position.

I suggest that you go to:

Amateur Radio Repeater database - Updated daily

to see if there are any amateur radio repeaters that are in your area. If you own a scanner, you can try to hear some yourself.

Getting a ham license is incredibly easy, and just because you get one doesn't mean that you have to become a nerd with poor personal hygiene and no social skills. (see Hamsexy dot com) If you have a girlfriend, you've already distinguished yourself from roughly 80% of that crowd (unless she's also a ham )

11M operation is incredibly fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not the most reliable or legal way to go for your intended purpose.
