You do not need a lot of fancy equipment to get on the air. Thanks to the HOA at our Texas house, I started with a very old, used Yaesu radio that I bought off of eBay and a reasonably inexpensive MFJ dipole that I had to hide.
Second, experimentation is key. I lost count of how many antennas and setups I tried while trying to “hide” mine or set up temporarily at a rental after first moving to New England.
