Whatever you do, don't give up on it until you have tried HF in a semi-serious way, at least by visiting a functioning HF station and tuning around. In my view, VHF local FM can be great or very boring depending on where you live and the local community, whereas HF reaches all over the world and feels a lot different than a phone call.
Anyone who wants a demo should post their location in this thread... My station can be demo'ed just via a laptop (remotely, such as from a bar or coffee shop) and I'm sure many of us who are hams would be happy to help any interested person from HN get familiar with what it's all about.
