"73 Magazine" (1960-2003) was an amateur radio magazine which published many technical articles and lengthy editorials. A considerable number of the editorials in "73 Magazine" written by its founder and publisher, Wayne Green, over the span of several decades featured discussions of conspiracy theories and UFOs. Those editorials prompted at least one reader to write in to the magazine to complain that "When I buy a ham magazine I couldn't care less about UFOs, ESP, NOE. cold fusion, or regular reruns of your trials and tribulations in the music publishing business. I want to be fully informed on the latest state of the art in ham radio".
The articles in "73 Magazine" featured repeated discussion of using amateur radio networks to enable those interested in UFOs to communicate information, including alerting others when something is spotted and enabling "scientific teams to know immediately where a UFO has been spotted and where it is heading". One article suggested that nothing "other than amateur radio could fit the bill". Wayne Green's own UFO amateur radio network [UFO Net], and other similar UFO networks (including one run by MUFON) and UFO radio shows (e.g. by Art Bell) featured repeatedly in this magazine.
Other UFO articles included an item on Ray Stanford's Project Starlight and one featuring schematics for a UFO detector.
Mikhail Gershtein, the Russian UFO researcher, had previously kindly provided me with scans of 3 articles from "73 Magazine". Looking into those articles, I found that the entire collection of "73 Magazine" has been made freely available online so I downloaded 514 issues and searched them for the keyword "UFO". Unfortunately, due to the imperfect nature of the Optical Character Recognition used in relation to those scans, many of the hundreds of searchable results were irrelevant - but I picked out over 40 relevant items and extracted them to add to my searchable collection of UFO material.

I'll paste below a brief indication of 43 issues of "73 Magazine" featuring discussions of UFOs.
