He was one of the, if not THE, harshest critic of the League, but he was always a paid-up member of the League, giving him standing to do that. Many times he was right! Yep, Wayne was usually right about ham radio issues. I first started reading 73 when the League was pushing Incentive Licensing in the 1960s. Wayne said that it would be bad, and it was indeed disastrous -- it did help the League sell license manuals, but a slew of ham equipment vendors tanked within three years. He also pushed transistors when the League was still pushing tubes. He was a total crackpot on some other issues, and grew worse with age. But he was never dull. I suspect that if he were still around and running 73, he might be looking for articles on software-defined radio, weak signal DSP, and other ways to do actual hammy things using current component technology. |
