Government would shut down all the amateur radio operators pretty quickly (you’re on a database). Plus it’s not quite as romantic or reliable as it sounds, especially on HF at the moment. Go do it for sure, but you’ll find trivial confirmations and conversations about declining health and not a lot else. I only operate CW (morse) myself because that’s more interesting and there is a technical challenge.
