FOREWORD May I take this opportunity to wish each student of the Los Angeles High School a long, happy and prosperous life. In the expeditions in which it has been my pleasure to participate, the radio has been of great importance and tremendous value. In the Antarctic, there are no telegraph lines, no ship or train or air mail, no telephone sys- tem. There, in the field of communication, radio is supreme. By taking full advantage of it, we gave safety insurance to the field parties that warrant- ed my letting them go farther afield than I should have considered other- wise. One day in the spring at the height of our activities. I was able to super- vice (though I rarely exercised this supervision) six units doing field work, an airplane in flight mapping distant mountains, my two ships, the Bear and the Ruppert to the northward, and my office in New York City. Twice while exploring from the air in the William Horlick, I received a query from a trail party and radioed back instruction. The story of our expedition was a tremendous problem with all of its technical hazards. A 10,000 mile radio telephone circuit, expensive ampifi- cation hook-ups at Buenos Aires. Long Island, and San Francisco, and Little America incapable of powering a transmitter of much better than peanut stand strength, compared to the power of average broadcasting stations, made our broadcasting most difficult. However, we hope that in spite of the static, the listeners-in all over America had a vision of our great undertaking and appreciated the human side of the problems as well as our scientific ideals. The radio is an asset not only to the sphere of science and explorations. but it is also a marvelous instrument on behalf of a better and more com- plete understanding among the nations of the world. If we in our expedition in the Antarctic could keep the world informed in regard to our discoveries and the many problems daily and hourly presented to us. certainly the radio may be used to exchange knowledge among the peoples of the world and knowledge makes for friendship and tolerance. RICHARD E. BYRD
