Colonel Green built his home on Round Hill in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. In 1923, as continuous wave-broadcasting became available, Colonel Green founded the radio station WMAF. MIT's president Samuel W. Stratton and the Department of Electrical Engineering's new Communications Division was invited to experiment with the new technology.
