Define the word -- Elmer? In ham radio land the word or name Elmer is the label that got tagged on to that wonderful guy that knew how to fix your broken antenna, make your rig radiate RF, get rid of your RFI in the neighbor's stereo or that terrible case of TVI that is keeping you off the air. He or she is the one that shows up for the antenna raising or taking down without being asked or asking for anything in return. Elmer's are the real unsung hero's of the amateur radio hobby and everyone can be an "Elmer" because we are all good at something from napping to fixing. There is no better reward then the helping of someone that is at a disadvantage on a project, tasking or chore that could use a helping hand to overcome a hurdle and you know you can do it. Volunteering to be a "Elmer" to someone is great even if you don't really know the answer also then you both learn and grow. It makes you better then the person that knew and did not want to be bothered.
So you need some help. How do you get it? It can be as hard as you want to make it or it can be simple. Are you up to becoming an Elmer? If you answer this question with a yes? Why don't you get off the dime and get your name on the list of Elmer's? DBARA has been accused of not having any Elmer's so lets kill that rumor by getting on the list today. Updated 02/02/2012 |
