About this episode
Wayne Green discusses major developments in amateur radio, covering regulatory changes and technical advances reshaping the hobby. The conversation addresses unprecedented weather events devastating France, where two massive storms destroyed over 300 million trees and caused billions in damage. Reports emerge of catastrophic hailstorms in South America depositing ice feet deep during summer, massive fish kills in Indiana rivers from industrial pollution, and basketball-sized ice blocks falling from Spanish skies. Green and Art explore mysterious headless humanoid legends from Baja California reported by Spanish explorers. Extreme weather dominates the discussion, with 100-plus mph winds becoming disturbingly common across multiple continents. The dialogue touches on cloning advances, spy satellite failures attributed to Y2K bugs, and concerns about Iranian nuclear ambitions supported by Russian technology.
