LITTLE JEANA STATION, WAP USA-47 a brand new reference issued<\/span><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

\"\"It was not an easy task to retrace the history of Little Jeana Station<\/strong> but thanks to our friend Bill Ashley KF5BRB<\/strong> who did
\nprovide a QSL ofthis rare one, WAP is now in condition to issue to LITTLE JEANA STATION<\/strong> (aka Little Jeana Summer Weather Station<\/strong>) a brand new WAP
\nreference as USA-47<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The KC4USZ <\/strong>card , prove that an activity on Jan. 10th<\/sup> 1966 from this epic rare one by a QSO made with W8OAR<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

US Station Little Jeana<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Bulletin of the Antarctic US Projects officer<\/strong> (Vol.6 number 2-1964), signed by Rear Admiral James R. Reedy<\/strong>, USN United States Antarctic Projects
\nOfficer, show a presentation of activities of the Government of the United States of America pertaining to the logistic support, scientific programs, and current events of interest in
\nAntarctica, published monthly during the austral summer season and distributed to organizations, groups, and individuals interested in United States Antarctic activities.<\/p>\n

The data in the over mentioned issues suggest that Little Jeana<\/strong> was active from 3 oct.64 to 23 feb.65<\/strong>, from 2 oct.65 to 31 oct.65<\/strong>
\nand again from 1 dec.65 to 22 jan.66<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SUMMER WEATHER STATIONS REESTABLISHED <\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to the first aircraft landing at the South Pole, on 31 October 1956, a summer weather and emergency-landing station (Beardmore I Station WAP USA-NEW) was established at the foot of
\nLiv Glacier . This station was later moved to the foot of the Glacier, from which it derived its name, and has been moved or rebuilt several times since.<\/p>\n

When aircraft began to resupply Byrd Station (WAP USA-19), another summer weather station, Little Rockford <\/strong>(WAP USA-NEW), was set up on the flight path from McMurdo
\nSound to Byrd Station. It has also been relocated, at 79\u00b014′ South, 147\u00b029′ West, on the Rockefeller Plateau.<\/p>\n

Plans for the current season called for remodeling the 2 stations, using van-type buildings similar to those that have proved successful at Eights Station <\/strong>(WAP USA-\u00d87).<\/p>\n

Advantage was taken of the opportunity to shift the location of Beardmore Station<\/strong> (WAP USA-NEW) to 81\u00b023′ South, 170\u00b015′ East, about 125 miles north of the previous site.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAt the same time the station has been renamed “Little Jeana Summer Weather Station”<\/strong> and officially opened on 5 October 1964. The installation consists of 4
\nportable units, 3 of which are arranged in a “U”. In one are the sleeping and eating quarters for the 3-mandetach-ment; in another are a diesel generator and a workshop; while
\nthe third contains another generator and a wash room.<\/p>\n

The center of the “U” has been turned into a permawalk, and here the pibal dome is located. The fourth unit has communications equipment and is separated from the others
\nsothat it may, if needed, serve as an emergency shelter.<\/p>\n

Little Rockford was reestablished the same day Little Jeana was opened. This installation has consisted of wanigans that were put in position in 1958 by tractors from Little
\nAmerica<\/strong> and later moved to the present site by the same means. It is intended to remodel Little Rockford, along the lines of Little Jeana, later in the season.<\/p>\n

Avant le premier atterrissage d’avion au p\u00f4le Sud, le 31 octobre 1956, une station m\u00e9t\u00e9o d’\u00e9t\u00e9 et d’atterrissage d’urgence (Beardmore I Station WAP USA-NEW) a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablie au pied du

Lorsque les avions ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 ravitailler la station Byrd (WAP USA-19), une autre station m\u00e9t\u00e9o d’\u00e9t\u00e9, Little Rockford <\/strong>(WAP USA-NEW), a \u00e9t\u00e9 install\u00e9e sur la trajectoire de vol de McMurdo

Les plans pour la saison en cours pr\u00e9voyaient de remodeler les 2 gares, en utilisant des b\u00e2timents de type fourgon similaires \u00e0 ceux qui ont fait leurs preuves \u00e0 la Station Eights <\/strong>(WAP USA-\u00d87).<\/p>\n
