I would like to build a ham radio. I don't have an infinate supply of cash, so low cost would be nice. Time however should not matter that much. Is there any way to make one out of househjold materials? If so, some instructions would be appreciated. Otherwise, how much do most kits run for? Do you need a license to "legally" use one? What are the distance limits (ability or legally)? Do you need to know moarse code? Some help would be very much appreciated!

A license is required to operate an amateur radio. Mose code is required for the higher two license classes. The entry level Technician class morse code test is optional.
Honestly, constructing a radio out of random parts may be difficult. You may be able to construct a simple CW (morse code) transmitter/receiver on a minimal budget. Still, you'll have to buy more parts.

Go to the American Radio Relay League -- http://www.arrl.org -- with these questions.
