An Elmer is an endearing term used for a fellow ham that is willing to help others with issues related to the hobby. In days past, your Elmer was the person that helped you put up your first antenna 
and make your first contact. The following individuals have graciously offered to help out anyone that needs help in their various areas. If you need some new assistance, please get in contact with one of the people listed below.
If you would like to volunteer to be an Elmer, please contact SPARC Vice President, Carol, AB4YI.
