The 'creative, build-cool-shit part' is always available to those who are so inclined in this way: Build a rig from scratch (using even discarded components for the most part) and then use it to talk to others across the town (VHF/UHF) or across the ocean (HF), completely off the grid!! How cool would that be? :-)
