Actually we're at some of the highest numbers of licensed hams ever, around 600,000 in the us. It just isn't as high profile as it used to be.

What with morse code requirements being lifted on the entry level license (and soon to be lifted for *all* licenses) it's really easy to get into the hobby these days....

This is not my hobby but a few weekends ago I spent Saturday morning wading in a river and plucking mussels out of the depths (as well as several slimy rocks). I was with an Audubon group and a man from the Dept. of Wildlife & Parks; we found over 200 mussels! Not something I'd ever done before but kind of fun. And it makes a good story.

Does rescuing and living with more than 10 cats count as a hobby or just freaking insanity?

Lampwork glass beadmaking. Torch up and let the glass flow!

I'd love to do that (I've gotten to try it at Pensic a few times) but I live in an apartment and the blow torch would be frowned on.

Odd hobbies...Belly dancing is my odd hobby. I also do beading.

I bead as well, but have not graduated to actually making my own beads yet. I may try some polymer clay beads at some point; I think I trust myself with a toaster oven, but a blowtorch...?? I'm thinkin' bad idea!
