People from other provinces might find this title confusing, so let's start with some background information first.
I. Background Introduction
Before May 2024, the process for obtaining a radio license in Changchun involved:
1. Filling out electronic forms (No. 17 and No. 19) on the association's website.
2. Uploading photos of the radio station's identification plate and ID card/operation permit.
3. Waiting for approval.
4. On Thursdays, bringing the radio to a small office in a large building to receive the radio license (presumably at an unmanaged location).


Notably,Only Yaesu radios can be obtained with a license. Later, due to some reasons (thanks to the efforts of predecessors), amateur radio licenses were also obtainable for Xiaomi's amateur radios when I started using them. In addition, if the operating license is not obtained through the Jilin Province examination, you will need to obtain a "no station proof" at the issuing location.
The above content only represents Changchun City; other cities have their own approval processes, and none are as extreme as those in Changchun.

The specific reasons will not be elaborated on here (I guess there's really nothing I can say about it, haha), but in mid-May 2024, Jilin Province suddenly issued notifications through various channels, including associations, instructing users to pause the inspection process for system upgrades. This continued until approximately mid-July 2024:
Two. Finally, we have e-government! However, it seems to be both advanced and old-fashioned at the same time.
After several months of delays in issuing radio licenses in Changchun and Jilin province, he finally implemented e-government services in mid-July.
And also publish a notice stating: "Any code that has been approved and is still valid can be used."

And before that, in Jilin...Scan your health code every day.The platform provides an online application channel for "Radio Station (Amateur Radio) License Application" through the relevant government website.

At this point, things should have been going well for everyone. However, what followed were some disruptive actions by certain parties in Jilin Province:
First, we have
- The requirement from Jilin Province for the "Guo Wu" meter number 17 is:2006 editionYes, you are correct, it's the 2006 edition, published by the Ministry of Information Industry.

I didn't believe in rumors, so I specifically went to download and check it out.
Indeed, it is.
After inquiring, I learned that the new form issued by MIIT is recommended, not mandatory. To use the new form, you need to obtain approval from the provincial government, but the approval process is still pending.
Version 2006 – Version 2024: The span feels a bit too large; don't you feel like it's a bit cyberpunk?
- Proof of obtaining a call sign for operating from outside the area is still required.
- Even if you receive a national license, you still need to register when traveling outside your province:

I have some reservations about this, and I don't think it's appropriate.

Please see my previous statement.
In summary, previously, the only way to obtain a nationally recognized ham radio license in Changchun was through Yaesu. The progress of electronic government services across various regions has also greatly facilitated amateur radio enthusiasts in obtaining their radio licenses, and now, new residents in Changchun no longer need to spend a large sum of money on a domestic FT4XR from Yaesu just to obtain a license.
I hope to see more new-generation radio enthusiasts in this area of Zone 2 in the future. That's all.
(And where else can I find similar restricted aircraft models like those used in Changchun?)
