Hello Carl,
According to the ARRL, Dave Newkirk originated "elmer".
The ARRL web site says that the term "elmer" comes from
an article by Dave Newkirk in the March 1971 issue of QST,
and that this is where the term "elmer" was first used.

I hate that name, I always get a vision of Elmer Fudd or some unwashed

Whoever thought it up should be strung up by the heels and beat with the
Wouff Hong.
