Are you familiar with the name Wayne Green? Wayne was the outspoken publisher of '73' magazine from 1960 to 2003. He became a silent key on Sept. 13, 2013. Borrowing from the obituary published by the ARRL, National Association for Amateur Radio, "A hallmark of 73 was Wayne's iconic rambling and wide-ranging 'Never Say Die' editorials in which he rarely missed the opportunity to tweak the ARRL and its magazine competitors for their perceived shortcomings. There hardly was an issue that Greene would not confront; he expounded upon a variety of unconventional science, health and medical theories from cold fusion and landing on the moon to aides and cancer cures." 

In the fall of 1998, Radio Amateur Information Network Founder, Hap Holly/KC9RP, approached Wayne with the idea of producing a weekly audio podcast. It became known as "Wayne Green Pontificates"—and pontificate he did as you'll hear in one such 10-minute pontification he voiced from 1999. As stated by former ARRL CEO, Dave Sumner/K1ZZ, "Wayne Green will be remembered in many different ways by many different people; but he WILL be long remembered."
