Something about the hobby lends itself to forging lasting friendships, perhaps the reasons you've enumerated? The friends I made in high school and as an undergrad I've lost track of, all except for the hams - they remain, 40+ years on. Just yesterday one from high school texted me out of the blue with a snapshot of an old shared Heathkit 303/401 HF pair.

Just fill in the gaps: 80x-12AXx-5x3Gx-12xU7-4CX2xxB, and so on. Right, they just roll off the tongue. Quick and dirty and not that secure but very practical at short notice. :-)
