>Wayne published a ham radio magazine (just one of about 20+ 
>magazines he started) called "73" magazine.  "73" was noted for 
>being one of the first hobby rags to include computer technology as 
>a regular feature. And I think Wayne may have started one of the 
>first computer technology hobby mags, "Byte" magazine.

>Opinionated to say the least, Wayne was a one-of-a-kind 
>character.  He promoted everything from personal computers to the 
>detrimental health effects of 60Hz radiation from the electric lines 
>in your house.

>I think most hams had a "love/hate" relationship with Wayne; there 
>weren't many opinions of Wayne in the middle but Wayne didn't stand 
>in the middle of anything, he was always for or against 
>something.  His "Never Say Die" editorials in "73" were a trip, 
>multi-page rants on whatever was on his mind, including the ARRL (I 
>don't think he was a big fan), the state of medicine, and, yes, the 
>aforementioned 60Hz radiation.
