Thank you, Elmers

We want to thank our main Elmer, Rob (K0RAR), who agreed to be our Elmer from the start. Rob was first licensed in January of 1964. He spent 26 years in the Navy in communications and 14 years since then as a systems integration engineer specializing in RF systems in the commercial world.

Rob is a terrific instructor, and I HIGHLY recommend his classes, even if you are already licensed. Here's what many of his student's say:

“He loves his subject and conveys that enthusiasm to his students.”
