The term "elmer" means to help, teach, aid or assist a fellow amateur radio operator.

The Amateur Radio Service is better served when we take time to share knowledge

& experience that's gained through our troubles and trials in this ham hobby.

The nickname "Ham Nut" is from an msn.com group we founded some years ago: "Ham Nut's World"

Through this group we introduced a lot of "non-hams" to this exciting hobby!!

Met a lot of people and shared a lot of radio/computer/internet related info.

Sure do miss "Ham Nut's World" a !

MSN did away with these web sites but I keep the name alive via internet means!

Sometimes I need "proper guidance" in amateur radio use. Never too old to learn, huh!!

Especially on the HF Digital modes! Just ask my dear friend Martin (W3MLK). Hi Hi

Have joined the 30 Meter Digital Group just recently via Martin's invitation. Click Logo

There are a few 'ham radio' web sites that I am proud of due to the fact that I am their manager and creator. I spend a lot of time on the internet trying to encourage potential "hams" into obtaining their "ticket" (license). A lot of my time can be found being spent on Twitter and Facebook. Will have to 'Allow' you to Follow me on Twitter to avoid spammers and will have to 'Friend' you on Facebook for same reason. You will need an account in both places to participate. Sorry!! That's the internet!!

Will have to Search my FULL name on Facebook.I'm the one in Jasper, AL

Special thanks to all of you who have followed up on our information over the years and have since obtained their own 'ticket.' Follow that up now by getting ur General!! QSL??

To date we have assisted a number of area hams in antenna and tower installations.

Also, have helped folks to find a vanity call sign that had their initials or had lettering that pertained to a specific interest. That was a real nice gesture. I thought!! Hi Hi Don't do that very often now these days.

About QSO confirmations: Please consider using LOTW and let me know when our QSO is uploaded!

There's always the possibility I failed to upload a tq8 file for a QSO. Let me know if you aren't confirmed!!

And I am always extremely proud to send/receive "paper" here -- Send me yours and get mine back!

No SASE required on my end!

To me, receiving a QSL card is like a 'friendly long distance' hand skake!

I don't keep a record of who I sent one to so it's always possible I missed sending mine!
