[AMRadio] Elmer

[D. Chester]

I never heard the term until sometime in the late 70s or early 80s. I don't 
think it existed in ham radio jargon in the 50s, 60s or earlier.

To me, it always had a dumb-sounding ring to it. Maybe I associate it with 
Elmer Fudd or somebody I knew as a kid, but it conjures up the image of some 
guy with thick horn-rimmed glasses and double digit IQ, a "duh" kind of 
character.  "Mentor" carries far more dignity, at least in my opinion.
