That whole set up in the last message, using IRLP, Echolink, or any of the linking systems (which uses the internet to link repeaters that a VHF/UHF walkie talkie uses), or you move on to what some consider "true ham radio". HF (shortwave).
Cheap radio LINK $700. Of course there's Ebay and used radios much cheaper. Add some wire for antennas and you're done.

Short wave is the one that rolls over the ground no?
