Subject: Great Alaska Ptarmigan Hunt - UPDATE

AL1G, Coliss, has joined the GAP list. She has the .035 slot.

That makes 14 Great Alaska Ptarmigan on QRP this Sunday
...a record number on the air. 73, Jim, AL7FS

The Great Alaska Ptarmigan (GAP) Hunt Greetings from Alaska.
Here are the Great Alaska Ptarmigan (GAP) and their assigned
frequencies. Let's have fun with this hunt and thanks for trying to work 
Alaska.

This is an absolute "First" for Alaska QRPers. Never in history have so
many Alaska hams operated QRP at the same time.
Notes: GAP hunters should call "Up 1 KHz".
If 20 meters is dead dead, then check for GAPs on 15 meter frequencies.

We have one Great Alaska Ptarmigan who has volunteered to be
there for the slower operators. Check for KL0XK on 15 and 40 meters
although if those bands are both dead for him,
he has an assigned 20 meter spot.

Operate from 0000z-0200z 17 November (3-5PM AST Sunday).
GAPs will call "CQ GAP", etc.

Exchange is RST/SPC/PwrOut e.g., 559 AK 5w
