What is an Elmer? The term "Elmer" is very synonymous with the terms ‘teacher,
mentor, tutor, guide, helper, or sage’ but with a history. Elmer means someone who provides
personal guidance and assistance to would-be and current hams. The term first appeared in QST in a March
1971 "How's DX" column by Rod Newkirk, W9BRD (now also VA3ZBB). Newkirk called them "the unsung
fathers of Amateur Radio." While he probably was not trying to coin a
term at the time, here's how Newkirk introduced "Elmer" in his
column and, as it turned out, to the rest of the Amateur Radio world. If you wish to contact an Elmer, feel
free to contact any of the volunteer Elmers below and they will be happy to
help you! To volunteer to become an Elmer in any of the subjects listed below or for any other ham radio related subject not listed below, click here. |
