That's OK.
In the past, you would be pretty much SOL, but today, we have such innovations as EchoLink which will actually allow you, as a licensed ham, to get on the air without ever touching a radio! All you need is your computer, the software, and a headset or other audio device.
Although there are some who feel that communicating via EchoLink over your computer isn't really amateur radio, nevertheless it does offer the opportunity to communicate anywhere in the world, similar to VoIP.
There is a certification process, during which you must establish that you are properly licensed, but after that you're all set, and it's free.
