Ham Radio Fans
Air Messages
For Fair Visitors
More than 400 messages—most
of them saying “Having wonderful
time at the Fair. Wish you were
here”—have been relayed by ham
•radio from the Alaska Exhibit
Building at the World’s Fair to
friends and relatives back in
Alaska.
Two stations there, operated oy
volunteers of the Alaska Sour
dough Net and Puget Sound Coun
cil of Amateur Radio Clubs, are
performing two functions for
Alaska. The stations relay mes
sages from the Fairito Alaska and
additionally they spread the word
about Alaska and the Alaska ex
hibit to homes in all the other 49
states plus faraway points as the
Netherlands, East Indies, Japan,
and South America.
In charge of the operation is
Mary Olendorff of Spenard, whose
way to the Fair has been paid by
the Sourdough Net. Assisting her
are hundreds of Puget Sound hams
who provide two or three volun
teers daily and nightly to staff the
stations.
Two stations, loaned by manu
facturers to the exhibit, operate
over call letters KL7SOA/W7 and
K7USA. The former is a 500 watt
unit and the other is a 1,000 watt
station.
While the majority of the Alaska
messages are of the “Wish you
were here” variety, the day that
Prince Phillip visited the Fair most
of the relays said “Prince Phillip
and I saw the Fair today.”
In their contacts with more than
2,000 Outside hams, the Alaskans
describe the Fair generally and
the Alaska exhibit in particular. Of
special interest is the 11 foot, 1%
inch polar bear on display. Too,
the non-Alaskans ask about Alaska
weather, how the fishing is, and
what the main visitor attractions
are.
All hams who make contact witn
the Alaska exhibit are sent a spec
ial C-21 Alaska “QSL” card along
with visitor information from the
Division of Tourism.

7 Kodiak Villages
In Airport Plan
Kodiak and six villages on Ko
diak Island are included in the
1962 national airport plan, the an
nual appraisal by the Federal Avi
ation Agency of public airport
needs in the United States, which
was released this week.
Construction of new airports is
recommended for Afognak, Larsen
Bay, Ouzinkie, and Port Wakefield
while various other airport im
provements are suggested for Ko
diak, Karluk and Old Harbor.
The national airport plan speci
fies what, in the judgement of the
FAA, is required to maintain ade
quate air transportation facilities,
but does not constitute any com
mitment to proceed with the rec
ommended development.
