That is not true. You can do a lot with very small amount of money.
However, radioastronomy requires skills associated with electronics: design, testing, soldering, building (circuitry and antennas).. And interpreting the results is impossible without basic knowledge about electronics.. unless someone enjoys listening to the noise
