Throughout the history of Amateur Radio, many older more experienced members of the ham radio community have mentored newer members in every facet of the hobby. 
These mentors are known as "Elmers".  
LEARA has a group of "Elmers" who are ready and waiting to assist those in need.  

If you (or someone you know) is a new licensee
or thinking of becoming an amateur radio operator and needs assistance,
please send an e-mail message to
elmer@leara.org
(by clicking on the above link or sending an e-mail message to it) 
or phone Marv, W8AZO at 440-248-0031 (leave message if no answer) .

Be sure to indicate:
1.Your name and call sign (if not yet a ham, indicate that you are interested in becoming one)
2. What kind of help you need, e.g., basic operation, radio/antenna set-up & tuning, CW practice, etc
3. Your home address (so we can match you with a nearby "Elmer")
4. A phone number at which you can be reached (in case we need to contact you that way)
5. Any other detail(s) that might help us choose the proper "Elmer" for you

Then wait patiently.  You will be contacted as soon as possible.
