OARS is proud to announce our Elmer Mentorship Program.
Mentorship has been the backbone of Amateur Radio since its inception. To live up to our motto—"Hams Helping Hams"— we are building a modern network where experienced operators can share their wisdom with those eager to learn.
Step 1: Share Your Skills
We are building an inventory of the incredible talent within our club. Whether you are an expert in CW, a digital modes wizard, or just great at soldering, we need you!
- Don't be shy: Everyone has a skill that could help a fellow member.
- Stay Flexible: You can update your profile as you learn new tricks.
- Join the Ranks: Click the link below to tell us what you know.
Step 2: Share Your Interests
Tell us what you’d like to master, and we’ll pair you with an experienced Elmer for one-on-one or small-group mentoring. What’s next on your amateur radio journey?
- Be Specific: Tell us exactly what you’re stuck on so we can find the right expert.
- No Topic Too Small: We cover everything from "How do I plug this in?" to advanced contesting.
- Your Voice Matters: We design our future workshops based on what you ask for here.
🚀 What’s Next?
