Re: [Elecraft] [OT] The Ultimate List of Hobbies for Men

Great, old photos are worth as much as the texts themselves! I consider myself a bit of a "hobby-defined individual" and I've participated in 26 of these activities at some level, and a few others in passing. But ham radio surpasses them all! I'm also still active in SCUBA diving, flying,

I misread the title and thought it was hobbies for us men over 75 until I saw parkour listed (which I couldn't have done even when I was younger without falling on my face.  I have done over half of those activities however. Bob, N7XY On 3/4/18 3:47 PM, Tony Estep wrote: On Sun, Mar 4,

I teach modern jive which is now far more popular than ballroom dancing which I trained in in my 20's. Now in my 70's this has a very healthy following and is far easier to learn without private lessons. I met both my XYLs (40 years apart) at dance venues. Mostly popular with >40 year-olds.

Apparently they haven't researched the cost of flight training lately.  "Pilot lessons can run a couple thousand dollars..." It's closer to ten thousand for a private pilot license. Mike - KI0HA On 3/4/2018 16:06, Al Lorona wrote: I found it mildly gratifying that our hobby is listed at #2

No parade to rain on, Ham Radio was the second one in the list, no ranking assumed. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 3/4/2018 5:57 PM, Stan Horzepa wrote: Hate to rain on the parade, but nowhere in the article does it say that the hobbies are ranked. It is just a

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] The Ultimate List of Hobbies for Men

Stan - I think it is quite obvious that the list is not in rank order... or Ham Radio would be #1... at least that is my view. Dave - K9FN On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 8:57 PM, Stan Horzepa wrote: > Hate to rain on the parade, but nowhere in the article does it say that >

Hate to rain on the parade, but nowhere in the article does it say that the hobbies are ranked. It is just a list of hobbies, not a ranking. 73, Stan, WA1LOU On 3/4/18 8:30 PM, Tom wrote: They missed Watch Collecting and Racing, and one of the best...fishing -Original Message-

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] The Ultimate List of Hobbies for Men

Fred, it isn’t a list of hobbies for those over 75 years of age-it’s just a list of 75 hobbies that are considered to be “manly.” I was pleased that ham radio ranked so high, but also surprised that computer programming was so far down the list. In all, I am, or have been, involved with about

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] The Ultimate List of Hobbies for Men

I managed a total of 8. Would be more if I was an outdoor/sporting person. From what I've heard, Ham Radio and Model Railroads tend to be partners for a lot of folks. Good to see that Woodworking and Home Improvements are there. Shame there's not a category for Ham Radio Home Brewing. 73,

I am surprised at how few of these I have not done.  However, they don't list XC skiing to which I was addicted for many years. Great way to get outside when the weather is below zero.  Skiing uphill can be fun but the best is skiing to work and back.    73,   Kevin.  KD5ONS On
