Show Notes
Wayne Green, legendary publisher of 73 Magazine and lifelong ham radio operator, joins Art Bell for a wide-ranging conversation that spans decades of adventure and unconventional thinking. From his World War II submarine service to his views on the decline of amateur radio, Green brings a rebellious spirit to every topic he touches.
The discussion moves from ham radio's uncertain future and the rise of the Internet to Green's passionate advocacy for cold fusion research, colloidal silver, and a bioelectric blood purification device he claims has produced hundreds of positive anecdotal reports. Green also shares his controversial theories on education reform, entrepreneurship, and a firsthand account connecting Amelia Earhart to a secret spy mission over Japanese naval installations at Truk Island, sourced from her own airplane mechanic.
Art and Wayne find common ground as fellow hams mourning the hobby's fading relevance while celebrating its legacy of producing generations of engineers and scientists. Green's irrepressible curiosity and willingness to challenge scientific orthodoxy make this a spirited exploration of ideas most would consider far ahead of their time.
