May 28, 1997: Ham Radio & More - Wayne Green
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
Wayne Green, legendary publisher of 73 Magazine and founder of Byte magazine, joins Art Bell for a sprawling conversation that covers nearly every frontier of human curiosity. Green, who has visited 132 countries, piloted nuclear submarines, and helped launch the personal computer revolution, brings his trademark maverick energy to topics ranging from amateur radio's uncertain future to cold fusion experiments anyone can try at home.
The discussion moves from the state of ham radio and the threat posed by internet communication tools to far more provocative territory. Green makes the case for cold fusion, citing NASA's Lewis Research Center confirmation of excess heat, and describes the bioelectrifier, a device he claims can eliminate viruses from the bloodstream. He shares his theory that time travelers may be the mysterious men in black, and recounts the suppressed story of Amelia Earhart's secret spy mission to Truk Island, sourced from her own airplane mechanic. Art pushes back with healthy skepticism, demanding proof of overunity energy devices and questioning conspiracy claims.
The episode captures the restless intellect of a man who started industries before others saw the potential. From consciousness research and cellular memory to the cosmic snowballs bombarding Earth daily, Green and Art explore the boundaries between innovation and speculation with infectious enthusiasm.
