You could do this as an amateur radio operator. You need to get a
license, though, before doing any 2-way communications.

If you need to "broadcast" however, play music or or preach a sermon
or whatever, that would be against the law as an amateur.

If it is 2-way communications you're interested in, go to
http://www.arrl.org and they have full details on getting licensed as
an amateur radio operator. They have all the necessary books and
license study guides.

Figure $500-$1000 lowball for getting started with used equipment.
