How can i get started in radio astronomy?

How hard is it to get setup for radio astronomy? I was looking at a photo, from the 2016 NEAF, of a dish attached to a mount that looked like an NEQ6. What are the start up costs? I was a HAM radio guy as a teenager, and used to build Heathkit transceivers so i have some electronics background, trained as a telecom tech, also worked in data comms for most of my life, including installing microwave systems with major telcos. So i think i can handle the equipment side, the processing would be new for sure.
