Mentors

SARA Mentors

The following SARA members have volunteered to serve as mentors for fellow members in their local regions. Feel free to address your queries to the nearest listed mentor. Please be aware that SARA mentors serve in a volunteer capacity, and may not be able to respond promptly to your query. If you are not yet a SARA member, and wish to avail yourself of this personal membership service, we encourage you to first join the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers. Should you wish to serve as a SARA volunteer mentor, please send your name, geographical region, and email address to Jon Wallace, at wallacefj_at_comcast_dot_net . Volunteer mentors are asked to please keep us informed of any changes in email address or status. Note: To assist our email filters, please include 'SARA' in the subject line of any emails sent to SARA volunteers. Thank you.
