1. Study relevant regulations, watch videos introducing radio communication, and prepare for the exam.
2. Introduce this hobby to my family and prepare to purchase appropriate equipment.
3. Participate in the radio exam and obtain a call sign.
4. Learn the guidelines of Zhonglian (including letter explanations), participate in repeater identification, practice calling and copying, contact multiple local Zhonglian stations, and familiarize yourself with Zhonglian guidelines and techniques.
After mastering the alphabet code, the repeater also couldn't find any new users. It might be worth trying to purchase new equipment and use a satellite system [Note: a satellite system is not essential, and requires home support. When communicating with foreigners in the A-band, a satellite system is directional].
6. Find a local, relatively reliable amateur radio station (B or C class) that can provide you with assistance and guidance, and try to get in touch with them via shortwave.
7. After becoming familiar with shortwave and understanding the letter-based method, you can try to observe local friendly stations participating in shortwave competitions, or find a collective/unit station to participate in shortwave contests.
8. If you're not satisfied with voice mode and have plenty of time, try learning Morse code (CW). CW has low power but can transmit over long distances, making it a good entry-level option.
P.S. Suitable for showing off.
If you've already tried the above methods without success, and you don't want to learn CW, you could try using a data mode. However, data modes typically require a computer, and parental support is still needed before using them.
10. If you have already played the first nine items and are very skilled, it should be several years ago. By now, you should have become an adult, obtained all the necessary certifications (BC class), and then you can choose a direction: continue using existing equipment to communicate with more distant radio stations, or build your own equipment (antennas, accessories, etc.), or combine both options. However, this choice is up to you.
Finally, I want to say that interest is the best teacher. Learning never ends. If you enjoy delving deep into a subject, the world of radio communication welcomes you.
