X f il Aix . . E WINNIE POOH SPENCE CALLS HIS HOME IN MICHIGAN WITH CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER J. L . SPRINKLE OPERATING THE SHIP'S HAM SET. MISS JILL. DII..oRENzo -- LADY ARNEB 1963 -t..,,,.,- ., .- :W-D... ,4.-.E,..-.-T, ,- .. . - We'-d like to strike a note of apprecia- tion to Chief Warrant Oificer J, L. Sprinkle for his time and effort given operating the Arneb-'s short wave radio fhamj station during Opera- t1on Deep Freeze. Mr. Sprinkle con- tacted stations on all seven continents and at least 40 of the States. Radio- 1ng from icy Antarctic waters, he called fellow ham operators from Alaska to Morocco, from Philadel- phia to Formosa. Probably most appreciated by us are the phone patches he and state- side hams have enabled. More than 350 personal telephone calls were made from the Arneb during the cruise. Calling wives and parents from the bottom of the world isn't exactly direct dialing, but it's com- forting nonetheless. The Electronic Assistance Corpora- tion and Federated Purchases Inc. of Red Bank, N. J. donated the trans- mitter, receiver and ampliiier to the ship, while the Hygain Corporation of Lincoln, Neb. provided the anten- na. 'We are thankful to both com- pames. In February a team of the ship's con- scientious beauty admirers selected Lady AI-nab 1963 from photo-' graphs submitted by the officers and men, She's 18-year-old high school student Miss Jill Dilorenzo, from Newburgh, N. Y. Submitted by Arneb seaman Ken Backofen, her photo was chosen over nearly 40 entries. Few ships have such an attractive rep- resentative. -..,.v....--wg l I l I I I 'F I u I lit L L L.- 'Q
