I broke my collarbone a few years ago. As a result, I got into ham radio. My girlfriend and I studied and took the licence exam together. You could spend a lot of money on gear and equipment but there are a few inexpensive radios and many DIY projects that can be done inexpensively. There are multiple facets of radio communication to explore. I'm currently working on learning Morse code which has been a fun, brain bending adventure. I've also joined Summits on the Air which involves hiking (or cycling) to registered peaks, logging contacts, and getting points for the peak. Check it out at https://www.sota.org.uk/
