No chuckles here...  Investigate SDR:  Software Defined Radio.
That's the up-and-coming next generation of amateur radios.

Just to get your feet wet, check out the SoftRock radios.  If you

People are working on SDR's that get up into the VHF frequencies but
most current SDR's work at HF frequencies.
