Actually, you can get a "carrier current" radio station license fairly easily.
And the equipment is in the same price range as a 286 clone. It broadcasts
over the *power lines* and the rules limiting it result in ranges of a few 
miles. All the listens know is that it comes in better on the radio plugged
into the wall, than on the walkman. 

You *can* run a neighhorhood radio station!
