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
I agree that Tom Hammond N0SS (SK) created a valuable website with a lot
of information related to Elecraft products (particularly the K1 and K2)
and ham radio in general.
I am thankful that the Mid-Misouri Amateur Radio Club chose to preserve
the contents of his website within their website
I totally agree, Don W3FPR is awesome. His knowledge of Elecraft equipment
is superb.

I agree that Don W3FPR has been an incredible elmer here for many years. I
just wanted to also commend Tom Hammond N0SS (SK) for many earlier years of
beta testing, helpful tips, and answering questions on the reflector. Here
is a link to his preserved website. The soldering tutorial is
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!

I am going to recommend Mike Blake K9JRI. He is an excellent diagnostician and
understands a schematic better than most folks. He’s also an experienced
networking engineer and administrator which goes a long way to solving some of
the issues that seem hardware based at first.

Well, someone already put Don Wilhelm at the top of this list. So I’ll add my
two:
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.

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

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
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
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 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

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 !

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

Heck, being 1971-era, it's surprising that guy's name wasn't Moon Unit or
Peace Head or Gossamer Lollipop or some such thing.
