You "CAN" get on the air with less than $500. even less....if do without bells
and whistles.
There are used rigs you can get like a TT Triton 540 a very nice CW and SSB rig
that can be purchased for about $150. and many other used fine rigs for around
$300. with a few more features. Antennas....how expensive is wire? And add a
few more bucks for a tuner and a keyer and you're all set.
