I'm preparing to write long piece and I've got a couple of questions that I'd like to do a unscientific survey on:
1. It occurs to me that #hamradio is an acquired taste. I've run into too many #amateurradio operators who told me that their children have no interest in the #hobby.
2. Isn't the concept of #hobby or #pastime something that only people with 💰 can have? Aren't hobbies a form of #economicprivilege?
What are your best thoughts on these subjects?🤔
