I'd buy that book, I think. The trouble is that once you'd built the thing you'd need a licence to test it.

Would you then have to make paper and pencil to apply for the license?

Hmm. I don't suppose the FCC would take an application on a clay tablet, would it? Okay, we need to include an appendix containing instructions for making paper.

There'd be a companion volume explaining how to start a government so you could create a bureaucracy so you could have a licensing authority. I guess we'd start with Hobbes...

Uh ... I think that if we make it possible to dial down the power to 0.25 W and stick to CB channel 14, we don't need a license. But to test it at useful "please rescue me from this island" power levels, you're right. I think I'd be willing to deal with the license application after dealing with all that hands-on stuff though.
