The term may have been 'officialized' by the article, but I remember K6MJX offering to be my 'Elmer' when I was 14 years old in 1958. I asked him then where the term came from and he said he didn't know - it was like Ham which had fuzzy origins. The term was in usage here and there well before the 70's
