RADIO SIGNALS
MYST|FY HEARERS
Arctic Schooner Messages
Shift About.
BIZ NEA Service

BIZ NEA SeTttcs
HARTFORD, Conn. July Is
Radio enthusiasts are mystified over
the shift in radio signals of Donald
B. MacAIillan's "Bow-doin" in the
arctic from the east coast to the
west.
It is the surprising feature OF the
amateur radio tests that have been
conducted during the last year as
the famous schooner sailed north
ward for further arctic exploration.
While the vessel sailed up the
coast of Greenland, Donald Mix, its
radio operator. was in good two-way
contact with amateurs in the eastern
part Of the United States. At a
point farther north, however. the
signals began to be picked up on the
Pacific coast and the eastern anna
tours lost contact with Mix
This condition existed through all
last winter, although at times anna
tours at other points succeeded in
picking up short messages from
Mix. For nearly seven months relia-
BILE contact was maintained, while
intermittent signals were received
during the rest of the time.
With the approach of daylight in
the artic signals from Mix have con-
tinued to fall off, except for an &C.
casional "all's well" Contact is ex-
pected to be renewed soon when
Macmillan starts for home.
