Suggestion on the ham thing from a non-ham... Look up "Andy's Ham Radio Linux" - it is an Ubuntu derived distro with every decent ham related Free / Open program he could find and make work, plus the standard utilities with a focus on being 'older hardware useful'...
He is a long time ham, and in addition to maintaining the distro, has taken over maintainer duties for some programs that were otherwise abandoned, and has also created a few Linux programs to enable use of ham hardware that the manufacturer had only made software for that other O/S - I don't know if it would be 'Free' by Richards standards, as he basically works with whatever info about how to talk to the stuff that the manufacturer is willing to give him... I think it includes some of the 'fox-hunt' transmitters, and some programmable radios... He is a 'name' in the ham world for his distro, at least as I understand it. Andy also runs a Linux Meetup in Chelmsford, MA if that is local for you...
