Vast Chain of Unpaid Operators That Sped Mes- sages to and From Explorers in Far North Made Up Chiefly of Schoolboys. | Who is this radio amateur? Everybody who reads newspapers has been introduced to him this Sum mer by the line in virtually every news dispatch about the MacMillan Arctic expedition which said “This message was transmitted through | amateur station ——, Some nights he was in Cedar Rap- ids, Towa; then again he would be at South Manchester, Conn.; he ranged from Portland, Oreg., to Portland, M |and he showed up in Australfa and in | England. The great majority of the messages lic by the Navy Department depended upon these amateurs. Most Are Mere Boys. From coast to coast and from thr If to Canada radio amateurs have been working long hours into thr night, taking thousands of words. i inews dispatches and also persona | messages, and doing it as a gift o service. For the amateur’'s only recom pense is a lively and enduring affec tion for his hobby, “ham radio,” and | desire to contribute further to the radio science he has done so much t | develop. One of the amateurs who beer most successful in ‘‘getting WNF |(meaning the wireless station aboard | the expedition’s flagship, the Bowdoin) |1s @ 15-year-old schoolboy who took his vacation money to go to Wiscasset. Me., and interview John Refnart about short-wave sending and receiv ing. Another is a well-to-do tobaccc planter. A third is a successful busi- ness man, who burns the midnight tubes as his hobby. Most of the ama- teurs, however, are high school boys. Relay Idea Evolved. Amateur radio s as old as radio it self. In the days of the spark trans. mitter there were a host of enthuslasts striving mightily with comparatively Inferior equipment to converse with their fellows in nearby towns. There gradually grew up a camaraderie of accomplishment. These transmitting amateurs were able to converse with each other from town to town by means of the speclal telegraphic code evolved for radio. As the discoveries of scientists at work in laboratories and of amateurs at work In their radio shacks stretched out the distance over which it was | possible to converse, there was born the idea of finding a station between two others that were unable to com- municate directly with each other and make of the half-way statlon a feldy point. | "*The development of this idea was { the development of the American Ra- dio Relay League. Enthusiastic ama- teurs banded together to furnish relay service to their fellow amaieury snd operated by | given out by the National Geographic | ociety and many of those made pub- | | | to the public. and the apparatus used in transmit- | ting and receiving units became more efficient this need for relaying became less acute. With this change came | another. | Vast Field Opened. As the vears passed on | Amateur radio stations were added to the equipment of vessels that had | never before considered carrying radio. | Portable, low-powered amateur sta tions became a necessity for expedi.| tions to odd corners of the world where other means of communication were Hmited. These stations away from civiliza- fon and the homeland, because of | varying conditions, were not always |able to talk with one specified station at home. Thus once more the relay. ing of messages became a matter of rime importance to the transmitting ‘mateur. Transmitting over great distances nd with Jow power that makes verbal ‘ommunication difficult, the radio ama- cur uses telegraphic code similar to hat used by wire lines. Insteag, of he familiar clicks of the land Ilne, here is a steady flow of short and ong buzzes—dots and dashes—and as| he evening wears on and morning roaches the radio amateur has be. him long messages that no-other CUTICERA| Helps Business use of Cuticura Soap, assisted by touches of Cuticura Ointment when required, keeps the complexion fresh and free from eruptions, the hair live and glossy and the hands soft and smooth.

Dependability Proven. When plans were being developed for the present MacMillan expedition officials of the National Geographic Society wanted a reliable method of carrying on daily communication be- tween the expedition and the United States. A survey of the possibilities showed that dependence might be placed on this amateur, who, much like the explorer, was willing to work long hours and endure discomfort for the love of the “game.” Amateurs in America successfully talk with Argentina, with Indo-China, with Japan, with New Zealand, with Australia and with England. If such men were available and were able to carry on nightly conversations over such prodigious distances, they were the men with whom the expedi- tion must make its arrangements. Short waves and low power were the logical methods of communicating from the Far North. Governmental regulation had given the amateur the short-wave bands where his wkill and experiments de- veloped a host of new radio theories. The necessity of keeping a hobby within reasonable financlal bounds preciuded the use of high power. Maintained Daily Service. With these facts in mind, officers of the National Geographic Society and of the American Radio Relay League worked out plans with John L. Rei- nartz, operator of the Bowdoin and one of the outstanding exponents of the new short-wave theories. It was decided that member stations of the American Radio Relay League In the United States and Canada, or other countries it necessary, would act as receiving stations for all of the news and scientffic information sent back to this country by the expedition. At the same time messages between members of the expedition and their families and friends in the United States would be handled by the amateur radio sta- tions. This plan has worked without Inter- ruption throughout the stay of the expedition in the Far North. Dally schedules have been maintained. News dispatches have been handled with a speed that would delight the most critical editor, and personal mes. sages have kept the morale of the ex- | ploring ¢ and of the families at home at a higher pitch than was ever possible under old conditions. | From the standpoint of getting news | home, the radio accomplishments are | ideal. On a recent occasion, when the ! alrplanes of the expedition started out | on an exploration trip at 10:47 in the morning, word was sent out from the | Bowdoin at 11:03 that the planes had started on a three-hour run. News Is Flashed Here. Recefved by A. A. Collins, radio sta- tion $CXX, at Cedar Rapids, lowa, the dispatch was relayed to the head- quarters of the National Geographic Society in Washington at 11:66 and immediately released to the various news services that cover the country. So great w the entire was accom- plished that many papers were vn the | streets of this country with the news before the airplanes had returned to| their station with the schooner Bow-| doin. | A number of remarkable feats in ra- | dio were accomplished in the course of-the Summer. Long-distance relay were handied in record time, extreme- ly long-distance reception was re.| corded, and many stations maintained | daily schedules over a considerable | number of days at a time. Hruce Stone of San Jose, Calif., ownep and operator of station 6AMM succeeded in carrying on two-way communication with the expedition when it was off the coast of Green-| land, making a distance record for two-way work. The record of great-| est distdnce covered by a message from the explorers goes to several dis- patches copied by I. H. O'Mear of Gisbhourne, New Zealand.

Meyer of Milwaukee, Wis. and Fred Link of Comstock and Pinney, as friends and neighbors of John Rei nartz, operator on the Bowdoin, whose home is also in South Manchester, hold enviable records for getting mes. | sages through from the Northland and returning answers at the same sitting. Throughout the time when the ex- pedition was out of touch with all other kinds of communication daily news dispatches, messages to and from the members of the party and routine naval messages have had free way on the short-wave transmitters and recelvers of the transmitting radio amateurs in every country where clarity of reception was possible.
