Indiana Amateur Wins Putnam-Greenland Prize
t
'ft
George Palmer Putnam, Director
of Greenland Expedition, and his
son David.
JR. MILLER, amateur radio
operator of Hammond, In
• diana, has been awarded the
American Museum Greenland Ex
pedition prize for his work in re
laying messages to and from the
expedition in Northern Greenland
last summer.
The prize, a six foot narwhal
tusk of pure ivory, has been for
warded to Miller from New York
by George Palmer Putnam, director
of the expedition, which returned
to the United States early in Octo
ber. With the prize Mr. Putnam
sent Miller a letter expressing the
expedition’s appreciation of the
consistent work he did. in main
taining communication with the
schooner “Morrissey” throughout
her stay in the waters of Northern
Greenland.
Before the Morrissey sailed last
June, Edward Manley, radio opera
tor of the expedition, arranged
schedules with a number of ama
teurs working under the Amateur
Radio Relay League. Miller, whose
station, 9CP, at Hammond, is well
known to all "hams,” was one of
them. Within a few days after the
expedition sailed from Rye, N. Y.,
Manley had established contact
with 9 CP, and this contact was
^maintained with remarkable regu
Iy throughout the long cruise of

the Morrissey to its northernmost
point on Whale Sound, about 80
miles south of Etah and only 700
miles from the North Pole. Man
ley also was successful in getting
messages through periodically to a
number of other amateurs in the
United States, Canada, Australia
and several other countries, and
the entire membership of the Ama
teur Radio Relay League was con
stantly on the lookout for opportu
nities to handle the “traffic” of the
expedition, but it was through Mil
ler at Hammond that the great
bulk of the traffic was handled un
der conditions both favorable and
unfavorable to short-wave radio
communication.
The Morrissey’s radio equipment
consisted of two short-wave sets,
one powered by gasoline motor
driven dynamo and the other pow
ered entirely by dry-cell “B” oat
teries. When the ship struck a
hidden reef off Northumberland Is
land on the night of July 25 and
was threatened with destruction
under pounding seas and high
winds, the dynamo-powered set was
damaged by the sea water and went
out of commission. For several
days the expedition's communica
tion with the outside world depend
ed upon the battery-powered trans
mitter which had been taken

ashore and set up in a temporary
camp while the Morrissey was be
ing worked off the rocks.
The Morrissey was equipped also
with a long-wave radio receiver
which frequently was able to pick
up the biggest high-power broad
casting stations in the United
States and tune in programs of en
tertainment.
All'this radio equipment was fur
nished by Atwater Kent and Na
tional Carbon Company for experi
mental purposes.
Miller, winner of the prize for
handling most of Manley's traffic,
has been an amateur radio opera
tor for a number of years. Before
short-wave radio communication
came into vogue, however, he was
a commercial telegraph operator
and still spends his working hours
at the keyboard of a telegraph in
strument.
Manley, who was the only radio
operator with the expedition dur
ing. its hunt for narwhals, polar
bears, rare Arctic sharks and seals
and other specimens of animal and
fish life in the Far North, ie also an
amateur operator of several years’
experience. He was selected last
summer by Mr. Putnam Just prior
to his graduation at Marietta Col
lege, Ohio.
