If you're interested in this I definitely recommend you look into amateur radio licensing. I took mine a few years ago simply out of interest, and I learned so much from the advanced course.

VHF and UFH are so deeply embedded in technology we almost forget it's there. It's fun to sweep for other peoples environmental sensors in your neighbourhood, even more fun to track and listen to satellites as they pass overhead.

I don’t know what the regulations are in your country (looks like you are maybe in Canada?), but in many countries it is straightforward to get an amateur radio license, and then you can have all sorts of fun (under the rules).
