[Elecraft] "Elmer" background info

[AJSOENKE at aol.com]

The term may have been 'officialized' by the  article, but I remember K6MJX 
offering to be my 'Elmer' when I was 14 years old  in 1958. I asked him then 
where the term came from and he said he didn't know -  it was like Ham which had 
fuzzy origins. The term was in usage here and there  well before the 70's
