No, don't worry about a license (I'm sure the HAMS here will be pissed) when it's an emergency. When not IF the SHTF this will be a primary carrier of information in real time. Disinformation can be crushed quickly because reporting is in real time and there are no MODS. You can get a HAM / Shortwave set at a good price right now. A Baofeng UV-5R VHF UHF Dual-Band FM Ham 5W Portable Two-way Radio Walkie Talkie is like $25.00!! Get one and buy a better antenna for it, learn how to use it and how to utilize local repeaters. It's a cheap and effective radio that will at least get you information.
That's far cheaper than I thought.
A lot of options, look up the baofeng radios, they're cheap, not the greatest, they never match that output Watts they say they have, but in an emergency they're good.
