Is amateur radio a cool thing to get into? Does anyone care? Or is it for truckers and old people?
A foundation licence is £27.50 in the UK. Thats $40 for non-bongs.

we don't have foundation licenses in the US because we're free as in freedom

Yes. Yes. No.

I'm pretty sure you still need a licence in the US. The FCC will get mad at you.

The FCC pretty much has no enforcement branch.
You'll only make other hams on autismbux mad, and they'll try to triangulate your position.

I run a 24.15GHz radar in my car without a license and have never gotten in trouble. Been pulled over with it set up twice but cops let me off because as far as they could find out it wasn't illegal. I wouldn't expect state cops would know federal radio laws unless they were HAMs as well.

You're under-estimating the power of autism and people who have nothing to do.
