Re: [Elecraft] Who's your favorite Elecraft Elmer?

[KENT TRIMBLE]

As Trustee for the NØSS memorial call sign, I want to thank Don Wilhelm 
and Russ Boutell for remembering Tom Hammond and his Elecraft legacy, as 
well as others who still revere his memory.  A more unselfishly helpful 
person never walked this Earth.  I will make sure the club knows about 
Don's kind words for our efforts in maintaining Tom's website material 
at our monthly meeting tomorrow night.

If you have not reviewed Tom's website information to see what is 
there, I invite you to do so, it can be valuable.

[Elecraft] Who's your favorite Elecraft Elmer?

[James F. Boehner MD via Elecraft]

I wholeheartedly agree!

Don has helped so many with his vast knowledge and patience.

I have seen him at many Hamfests teaching the masses about Elecraft products.

His comments and answers to questions on this list go unmatched anywhere.

Those who have sent radios in to him to repair over the ages know his 
commitment to Elecraft and Amateur Radio in general.

I would like to add my support to Don as my favorite Elecraft Elmer!

Don Wilhelm -  I enjoy his  down to earth advice that doesn't require 
more than a tenth grade education to understand. Note, however, there 
are many others well worth listening to also.

I belong to a couple of groups (for other equipment and OS) and I can 
assure everyone - the Elecraft reflector is unique. Ask a question and 
you will get an answer - without snide responses.

Joe Subich and Jim Brown. Both of these guys have answered many questions about 
so many topics, not just Elecraft. I have a lot of respect for their opinions.

[Wayne Burdick]

One thing that defines Elecraft is an extended community comprised of builders, 
operators, tinkerers, and friends. It's been gratifying to watch the breadth 
and depth of this interaction over the years (mostly civilized and helpful :)  

In particular, we'd like to recognize those who have stepped up to become 
"Elecraft Elmers," helping get others' kits working, figuring out cabling or 
software setup problems, and coaching new operators about how to make the most 
of their radios' features on the air.

If you have someone in mind, please tell us who they are and how they helped. 
Specific examples with short narratives would be great. We'll include as many 
of your stories as possible in upcoming newsletters.

Please send them to:  margaret at elecraft dot com.

[Elecraft] Elmer Request

[KU4YP]

hello, 

is there possibly an elmer for the k2 near me? would like to sit down
and possibly get help with assembly. i am at page 60 in the manual but i
am kinda iffy on my torrid winding. i am planning on buying the
pre-wound torrids in the near future. i guess that is an art. will
gladly pay for your time. it is not the fact that the list has not
helped, i am just a hands on kinda guy, i guess.

Re: [Elecraft] Elmer Request

[Kristina Wright]

Hi there, I'm not an elmer but I just wanted to drop a note that  
torrids aren't really that hard to wind.  Just stick the wire through  
the hole the specified number of times, then strip the leads by  
passing them through a blob of solder on your soldering iron. I found  
it to be quite easy and a lot of fun!

Re: [Elecraft] Elmer Request

[Don Wilhelm]

I am not local to you, but perhaps I can help with the toroid winding.
They are not difficult - some may regard them as 'tedious', but they are 
not difficult.  Just remember 2 things - 1) count correctly, a wire 
through the center of the core is a turn - if the wire makes a full wrap 
around the core, that is two turns. 2) PUSH the wire through the center 
of the core - it is better than trying to pull the wire through - that 
is especially important with the ferrite cores which may have sharp 
edges and can scrape the insulation from the wire.  Oh yes, form the 
wire against the *outside* of the core on each turn to make a nice tight 
winding.


If there are a lot of turns on the toroid, start in the middle of the 
wire and wind half the turns, then flip it over and wind the second half.


All toroids for Elecraft products are wound in a 'clockwise; direction - 
if you wind the turns in the wrong way, the toroids will work, but will 
not fit the hole pattern correctly.  If you hold the core in your right 
hand, the turns are formed by pushing the wire from top to bottom, but 
if you choose to hold the core in your left hand, then push the wore 
upward through the hole to produce the correct winding sense.


Tin the leads using the 'solder blob' method - use a high heat to make 
it easier and tin right up to the core - the cores are not conductive. 
The tinned leads should look bright and shiny.

Re: [Elecraft] Elmer background info

[Sandy]

Is W9BRD a silent key now?  I QSOed him a couple of years ago several times 
on 30 meters.  Nice fellow.


I 'wonder if Elmer might have been derived from the author Elmer E. 
Bucher who worked for RCA and wrote several books during the early 20's in 
the spark era?

Re: [Elecraft] Elmer background info

[AJSOENKE]

The term may have been 'officialized' by the  article, but I remember K6MJX 
offering to be my 'Elmer' when I was 14 years old  in 1958. I asked him then 
where the term came from and he said he didn't know -  it was like Ham which 
had 
fuzzy origins. The term was in usage here and there  well before the 70's

  I first discovered ham radio in 1951 in my high school radio
  club (W2CLE, allegedly the first HS radio club licensed on the
  US) and the term was not in use there at the time.

  Anyhow, my Elmers were named Gene and Jack !  We were all
  the same general age (14).

[Elecraft] Elmer

[Keith Bainbridge]

Seems to me the word Elmer is a stateside only thing, we never used it 
in the UK or here in Australia.

To me it conjures up images of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd !
I prefer to tell folks I'm a radio hobbyist, experimenting in technology 
and communications. That usually leaves then gobsmacked !

coloniesgoes it have anything to do with tea leaves, or conscripted sailors?

[Elecraft] Elmer background info

Some years ago a grateful ham wrote a warm fuzzy magazine article 
in one of the US Amateur radio magazines (QST?) thanking the man 
who had been his mentor into the hobby.  The man's name was Elmer.

Nope. It means you're left feeling astonished like you've just been
smacked in the gob (translation: punched in the mouth.)

After an Aussie has downed a few tinnies (had a few beers) he often
feels like smacking people in the gob, allegedly. :)

Heck, being 1971-era, it's surprising that guy's name wasn't Moon Unit or
