Great.
You’ll just need a transciever and a decent longwire antenna
I pick up Iraq like a bell on a 40 meter Pars wire thrown up in a tree.

My buddy developed telescoping cell tower service that rides on a flat bed trailer for fast deployment to disaster areas, but Hams are always first on the scene.
Add me to the ham list please.
You are on the list.
I cannot transmit in PSK31 as I have never gotten around to the license, but I can read it.
You are on the list.
I listened to some old boy in Galveston broadcast through hurricane Ike on a deep cycle marine battery and a longwire.
Ask that of the OP — I was just funnin’ a bit.
Add me to the ham ping list. Advanced license, back when they had it. Talk 2m to and frm work.
That's not true. There are more Amateur Radio licensee's today than at any other point in time. There has been a huge influx of new "hams" since the morse code requirement was dropped.
The biggest boom in Amateur Radio right now is in the Digital Modes which integrates Computer technology with Amateur Radio transceivers enabling communication across thousands of miles with very little power output.
JT-65 and PSK-31 are wildly popular right now. I'm into PSK-31, starting to get into JT-65. My overall preference is still SSB Phone (voice.)
I also have a DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) Repeater and C-Bridge (Conference Bridge) that I operate and maintain. DMR is also taking off like wildfire.
ROFL!!! You just reminded me about my now EX neighbor who tried everything under the sun to get the village to stop me from putting up my 50' Rohn HDBX tower and antenna's.
She lost BIG TIME and ended up moving away. Thank God.
At one point I got so sick and tired of her constant bitching about seeing my tower every time she looked out her kitchen window that I spray painted an old Satellite TV dish bright PINK, mounted it on my tower at the same level as her kitchen window and pointed it right at her.
It stayed there until she moved away in August of 2014.
Put me on the list too please. Thanks for doing that.

There is [or was,] maintained by FReeper Denver Ditdat- who does not appear to been actively posting in the last 5-6 years.
The last ping list Ping List of which I'm aware was maintained by FReeper cgk in 2007, and can be seen *here*. Ham Radio was listed under *hobbies and interests.*
