When someone asked me recently what I’m into I didn’t have answers. Existential crisis aside, what are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?

    Ya this seems like a neat one with a pretty devout following. How outgoing would you say you are. My immediate thought is that after getting all this set up I would be like… Sup? How’s the weather?

      NoOh if you’re looking for a hobby where you act social while also being a complete introverted and not wanting to actually interact with people then this hobby works.

      The minimum qualifying contact (when you’re doing state to state or country to country) is your call sign and a signal report on how well you receive them. Then you can say bye and move on. Some people report their weather, and some people will talk for hours about whatever topic. It all just depends on your level of interaction. Heck there are digital modes where all you do is use your computer and it’s basically all automated to make the minimal contact (more of a mode for collecting achievements cuz ham radio has those too).

      Google Parks On The Air or POTA. Those are also short and sweet.

      Me personally, I’m the the liveliest person in most rooms. But there are times when I power up radio and my computer and just work some states I haven’t before and don’t really want to “chat”.
