HOW IT WORK
You need help in HAM Radio, this website coordinates you and a volunteer(s) to help using voice chat tools like ZELLO or TEAM VIEWER. An example: a repeater on a frequency 5 minutes or example 1 hour using Zello. This is not a paid service so it is a best effort !
The idea is solely to help other ham as I did some years ago when I started. A HAM operator needs help or has questions.

Elmer (Mentor) List - volunteers - TBA here
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.
At the website HAM Radio Elmer - Amateur Radio we have always felt
that the local radio club is where the learning takes place. The local
radio club is where the newcomer begins the journey of discovery and the
seasoned veteran keeps informed of the latest technology. Regardless of
where we are on our ham radio journey our local radio club is where we
find our friends.
The term "Elmer" means someone who provides personal guidance and assistance to would-be hams.
The term first appeared in QST in a March 1971 "How's DX" column by Rod Newkirk, W9BRD (now also VA3ZBB). Newkirk called them "the unsung fathers of Amateur Radio."
As you can see, the term is not very old. Prior to the first use of Elmer as the one who guided and encouraged us, what were these folks called? We have received a lot of suggestions; teacher, mentor, tutor, guide, helper, sage? All are appropriate but my guess would be that first and foremost they were called friend.
If you would like to volunteer to be an Elmer, please contact HAM Radio Elmer President TBD.
