https://hamstudy.org/ Study the right answers only until you can pass practice tests with no issues. Then schedule tech test from ARRL website and pass. Edit - once you pass, find a decent home station setup from local hams. Find local repeater frequencies from repeaterbook.com and make contacts. They'll usually have a website and a monthly meetup - lots of used gear to make a pretty good base station. All you really need is a decent transceiver, good coax, and a great antenna.
