Check out a local club. Literally, check it out. If it is full of arrogant assholes twice your age, leave. If they are cool but you don't fit in, ask them for advice. There are so many retired radio operators who are doing it to stay "in it", or retired engineers who finally have time and so on. Most of them are very happy to info-dump about their hobby.
