This event sounds promising, and I think it's worth promoting.
After considering the matter, the two key issues that need to be addressed are legality and traceability.
Let's first discuss legality.
Here's a link to the "Regulations for Amateur Radio Stations":

This seems unlikely to be achievable, and I can identify a few potential issues at this stage:
- The operating license restricts the frequency band and power, while the radio station license restricts the allowed equipment. There are also differences in policies both domestically and internationally, as well as different management regulations in various regions within China.
- The radio itself also needs to be approved, and must comply with amateur business frequency bands, as well as being registered in a status without a fixed location.
- For use by minors, guardian information is also required.
- The temporary license requires the return of unlicensed radio equipment.
- Who is the entity that is penalized by an administrative agency for engaging in illegal activities or producing illegal content?
- The radio station may be subject to closure or damage.
- Unlicensed practical training operations require the presence of a technical supervisor on-site.
In the "Management Regulations," I noted a specific definition: "Article 39: When operating on an amateur radio station established by others, you must use the call sign of the amateur radio station being operated or the call sign obtained by the actual operator."
The operation of radio transmitters, as legally established, appears to have no geographical restrictions. This means that once the legality of both the radio station and its operator is ensured, it is permitted to "operate on other amateur radio stations that are also legally established." However, interpretations may vary depending on the region.
Based on the above information, here are a few things that might be worth trying in terms of operations:
- Strictly verify user information.
- Strictly record radio station information, and one or more responsible personnel are required.
- Adhere to strict usage procedures.
- Information about the minor, requiring a guardian.
However, I still have some concerns, and perhaps the best approach would be for information to circulate between different associations and be made public.
Regarding things that currently seem unlikely, I believe it's optimistic because I can think of companies and projects like Taobao, Alipay, and Didi, which have disrupted industry norms.
Let's consider the source of the problem again.
The goal of the "roaming radio" concept is ultimately to lower the barrier to entry for using radios, increase their usage rate, and facilitate sharing.
Donating is a good idea; I wouldn't mind his status as much as lending it out. However, the operator needs to keep track of the number of radio stations they own.
At this point, it's necessary to collect more personal information, follow a strict procedure, and create a visual interface. Ideally, three (or more) nearby guarantors should also supervise the process to avoid potential problems.
The following are some temporary notes; please excuse any inaccuracies.
