Show Notes
Wayne Green, editor and publisher of 73 Magazine since 1960, joins Art Bell for a wide-ranging conversation beginning with the history and future of amateur radio. Green recounts starting a radio teletype newsletter in 1949, editing CQ Magazine, and launching 73 Magazine after selling his Porsche, airplane, and boat to fund the first issue. He describes the catastrophic 1963 incentive licensing decision by the ARRL that drove 85 percent of ham radio distributors out of business and shifted manufacturing to Japan.
Green advocates eliminating Morse code as a licensing requirement, establishing a single license class, and securing geosynchronous satellite channels already offered by commercial satellite operators. He credits amateur radio repeater development as the prototype for cellular telephone technology and describes teaching King Hussein of Jordan to operate ham radio, which helped transform the country's technical workforce. Art Bell and Green discuss the declining state of American education, entrepreneurship, and manufacturing competitiveness.
Green introduces his research into cold fusion, citing Dr. Patterson's cell producing 100 times more energy output than input at a University of Illinois demonstration. He also describes a low-current electrical blood treatment based on Albert Einstein College of Medicine research that he claims has documented hundreds of successful outcomes.
