During Canada's Centennial year, 1967, the Polar Continental Shelf Project attempted to place a transponder on the floor of the Arctic Ocean at the exact North Pole. The personnel tasked with providing communications the group and connecting them to the south were members of CFS Alert Amateur Radio club.
From bottom around to right they were:
Bill Dyke, technician, and operators Gene Angrignon, Harry Bolton, Larry O'Donnel, Bob Dennett, Jim Troyanek and CO, Maj Fred McQuillan.
