[ARC5] Wayne Green, W2NSD, Dead at 91.

Thanks Wayne and Dave for the update. I had attempted to send W2NSD an email last week, but had forgotten the exact address and it bounced. I wrote the Hamsats column for many years until 73 shut down. I also organized a number of "special" issues associated with satellite communications and ATV. It was a lot of fun. About a week ago, a friend of mine took a photo while visiting the UK. He suggested that it would be good for the cover of the September 2013 issue of "73". I took the bait, and made the photo into a "73" cover. You can see it at http://www.w5acm.net/b342.html .

Thanks again, and "73"
Andy W5ACM

BTW: There will be a photo of me in the next AMSAT Journal making a QSO on 3885 AM with my BC-611-C during Museum Ships Weekend.

Thank you for the notice, Dave. Wayne's 73 Magazine and Byte magazines were instrumental in my technical education and a great influence in my younger years. As I'm sure they were on many, many others. Wayne would surely have been looking forward to the "next great adventure."

I just received this:

Wayne Green passed away this morning in a peaceful,
painless transition from this life on Earth.
An eternal optimist, and one who loved to share
his neverending zest for life, he was a friend
to many and will bemissed greatly.
Wayne was not afraid of dying and was very much ready to
embark on his next great adventure to the afterlife.
73,
W2NSD (Sept 3, 1922 - Sept 13, 2013)

I met Wayne Green and spoke with him many years ago
in Las Vegas; mid-1980s.
We spoke of my experimentation with Longwave,
which was just beginning.   He was very positive and encouraging
to a then-young ham who had been told by just about everyone else
that it was "a waste of time."   I went on to be the first to break
1000 miles and first to break 2000 miles on 1750 mtrs and
I credit, in part, his enthusiasm for trying new things that
I kept at it until it "worked."
He was also the first editor to ever buy a piece of mine.

The Almighty keep you and comfort your family, Wayne.
We'll miss you.
