Why not ? what are the cordless phones ? But if you are talking about long distance- then you have to take permission (in most of the parts of wols) and can only work in a limited frequency band.

Yes ..it's how a most RF engineers became RF engineers and many electronics guys started that way...
Way back in the 60s-80s there were plenty of hoby electronics magazines.
It was mostly discrete components then. As ICs have got bigger and more specialised it has become less accessible to the amateur.
Personally I started by building audio equipment which oscillated.(I hate RF...eugh)

Try Wikipedia for the description of a "crystal set" - an unpowered AM receiver that can be built using less than £5GBP of over-the-counter components.
Transmitters are a bit more ticky, and the operator needs to be licenced in most countries. Try the Radio Society of Great Britain for outline information on the hobby of amateur radio.
