ELMER (MENTOR) LIST
Here is a list of Amateurs who have volunteered to serve as mentors. Please contact the one nearest you for some help and advice. Following the call sign you will see a broad definition of a mentor’s particular skill or area of interest. In nearly all cases, these gentlemen can offer “general” help in getting you started. Because we’re volunteers, some mentors may not be available at a given time, but another mentor will be happy to help you.
