I took the last three and a half days off. Friday afternoon, our power went off, and although it came back on Saturday morning, Silvia and I shortly afterward, headed up to Lake Huron for a couple of days at the beach. No email, no ham radio, no internet.
We did, however stop in Elmer on the way back. Some newer hams think the term Elmer is dated, and even a little creepy. I understand where they’re coming from, but I’m happy to be an Elmer to dozens, if not hundreds of hams.

KB6NU, this is W8SFC, and without your teaching the One Day Technician class, the No Nonsense Study Guides, and your wisdom and advice as well as the help you have given to me I would likely not be licensed today.
You earn the ELMER title every day, with the many others you have brought into amateur radio as well as those of us who need your experience and guidance to advance to the next level. Thanks for helping us to succeed and inspiring others like myself to take on new challenges.
73!

After authoring the No Nonsense series, I can’t think of anyone who better deserves the title. That, and three days off!
