Schleck KD3FU) Original-subject: Monthly On-Line Elmers Resource Directory Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) (Note: Although less than a month has gone by, my list of volunteers has nearly quadrupled. Also, someone suggested that I add a list of suggested areas of expertise. So, here is the latest list...) As part of the multi-pronged strategy of Project SAVE THE BANDWIDTH, I will be compiling a directory of On-Line Elmers. These are people who, by virtue of skill and knowledge in an area of expertise in ham radio, are willing to field E-mail by readers of the rec.radio.* groups. Volunteers need only send me their name, E-mail address, and area of expertise. As requested, here is a suggested list of areas of expertise that are needed: 1. Volunteer Examiners 2. Novice Instructors 3. DX'ers and Contesters 4. QRP 5. Homebrewers 6. Packet Ops (both AX.25 and TCP/IP) 7. VHF and Repeaters 8. OSCAR and other satellites 9. MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) 10. CAP (Civil Air Patrol) 11. ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) 12. RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) 13. Skywarn (Amateur Weather Spotters) 14. ARRL Field Organization (American Radio Relay League) "Generalist" or "Miscellaneous" Elmers are also quite welcome. Naturally, the more that volunteer, the more the work is distributed. If upon volunteering, you are unable to meet your obligations, simply write to me and I will remove your name from the list. I could also add that because of "personal committments" or "career broadening" you no longer are available to Elmer on a regular basis. I will be the point-of-contact for this project. I will maintain the list, post it to the groups at least monthly, and have the latest copy placed in the supplemental archives at ftp.cs.buffalo.edu in subdirectory pub/ham-radio.
