HAPPY NEW YEAR! “Technology has not only overtaken us, it has left us far behind; and we're having our bitter fights over the deck chairs on the Titanic." The words of Wayne Green, W2NSD. 

Does the name Wayne Green ring a bell with you? Wayne was founder of both 73 magazine and Radio Fun magazine.  He published ‘73’ for almost half the 20th century; Wayne passed on in 2013, ten years ago. While Wayne had the reputation of being ham radio’s ‘gloom-&-doomer’, he showed a side of himself during a 1992 Dayton Hamvention forum few have seen - or heard. This week we present Wayne Green, W2-Never Say Die-with an excerpt from his talk, "A New Realization for Ham Radio”.
