4 Topic Ideas for Rag-Chew & Round-Table Nets

Ham operators don’t ever seem to run out of things to talk about when checked into rag –chew and round-table nets. That said, there may be times when the cat gets the better of your tongue because you suddenly don’t know what to say. Here are some conversation Ideas if this ever happens to you.

The first thing that comes to mind is cars. You can bring up your favorite car of all time, or maybe even your first car. This never fails to draw people in.

Something else I find pretty easy for hams to talk about is a first camera. Mine was a Kodak 110 that came in a kit. This was back in the mid ‘70s.

A third conversation idea is guns. Talk about an old shotgun that you or your dad once owned. This topic is also popular with many hams.

One last topic idea for you is something all hams love. That would be food! Think about it, what ham that you know, doesn’t like food? Talk about your favorite, or a recipe you like to use. Believe it or not, many hams not only like to eat, they like to talk about food too.

There you go, some topic ideas for those occasions when you can’t think of any thing to say.

Good luck on the bands, and maybe I’ll catch you down the log.
