"Elmer"...



Hello All...

When I took up the amateur radio hobby a long time ago I had a friend who 
helped guide me through the initial stages until I got on my own feet... He 
acted in a capacity known in ham radio as an "Elmer"...

I really need a planted-tank "Elmer"...

This list is priceless, and the archives are excellent as well, but I am 
overwhelmed...

Before I found this resource, I went to my LFS, and they sold me all sorts of 
things that I haven't even been able to set up... And from reading this list 
I fear some of it may be unworkable...

I really do not want to bore this list with a thousand simple questions... I 
feel that a simple phone call could really clear up some things for me or at 
least guide me in the right direction...

I know in today's fast-paced high-tech world voice communication is frowned 
upon, but I am a bit of an old-timer even though I am not that old 
physically...

I have been back to my LFS, and I have been to the other 2 shops in my area, 
and they all seem unfriendly... I do have an odd disorder which prevents me 
from comfortably leaving my house...

So, if someone is interested in getting another warm body into this hobby, 
please drop me a line... I will, of course, assume responsibility for the 
line charge... Considering how much I may have lost at my LFS, I'd even 
consider paying for expert advice, like 1-900-H2O-PLNT or something like 
that, if it existed...

Email would be appreciated as well, but I really do have a lot of questions 
and I'm not sure anyone would be willing to type that much... I'm retired, in 
a weird sort of way, so I do have a lot of time...

Respectfully yours,

Mike in North Carolina
