Tuning in, is different than operating - So I think their question was a
valid one. But yes - if you want to transmit on amateur radio bands you'll
need to be licensed by your country of origin. If you just want to listen,
what you're going to be doing is what's called SWL (Shortwave Listening).

If you tell us what you know about the hobby so far, then it'll be easier to
give some next steps.
