Amateur radio is quite a bit cheaper. A technician class license is easy to get. Might not be the latest tech, but when Ophelia made landfall here in the Carolina power was knocked out, some phone lines down, cable went out, but the handheld VHF radio and a number of different repeaters worked fine right through the storm.
