Call for Volunteer Elmers

Posted on 2026-03-20 by Rich

The PSRG Board is considering various ways to expand our outreach, especially to new hams. One possibility is to establish a list of Elmers ready to help with questions an coaching. We are looking for volunteers to be part of a mailing list to which questions can be referred. We’re also looking for one or more volunteers to coordinate the program by forwarding questions to the appropriate Elmer. Members with different areas of expertise are needed so that questions can be directed to a person who can best help hopefully is close in proximity . If you wish to be a part of this traditional ham mentoring, contact Rich, K7RCH@Prettydarngood.net.
