Old habits are hard to break.
Most of them are not interested in technical
topics, they just want to operate.
Most Hams are older, anti-social males. They
make DX contacts through the radio, but will
not talk to the person next door. You could
hear them making random contacts Fri, Sat
night too. Most are interested in boring
aspects of radio such as contesting (making
short random contacts over and over again)..
Also, a significant percentage of them are
overweight, more than the general population.
Not surprisingly, very few females in Ham
radio.

So true. I hear way more females on the cb as compared to hammie radio.
Hehee, I see you haven't listened to the local 145.35 machine in the
afternoon!
LOL!
