All around the world, amazing!I've not been active now for a good many years, and I only ever used VHF and UHF - but using short-wave you can get all round the world.
I think some simple morse code encoder-decoder software is easy way of alternative.Assuming you could learn morse code (I couldn't be bothered ) then you can build very simple and easy equipment that will allow you to communicate over vast distances.
But for VHF/UHF you can buy VERY cheap but excellent gear, such as this:

I actually bought one, even though I'm not active (it was too cheap to turn down) - but a friend borrowed it, and I've not seen it since
It seems VERY interesting and REALLY advanced transceiver with amazing features, wow! If I could be there! A person needs at least two transceiver (US$ 60) and shipping charge to my part of the world cost approx US$ 50 ( according to digikey's rate ) so total US$ 110. I recently got a middle class government job and I need 20 whole days to get it (to earn the amount). It is not sounds cheap to me/to my cheapest part of the world. That is way I am far from American cheap parts and that's way I always see for DIY schematics.
