ham-radio?

[virtanen <hvirtane@cc.jyu.fi>]

Hi, 

I needed some practical advice concerning ham hardware. 
(There is a lot information in the HOWTO file concerning debian software). 

Which kind of radio-hardware is needed?
How much does this kind of hardware cost?
Where are such kind of things available?

Does anybody know any successful installations of this technology in a
developing country without grid and telephone lines?

Any users of ham on this list?
