[KL7AA] Great Alaska Ptarmigan Hunt - UPDATE

[Jim Larsen]

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.

I would like to encourage Alaska hams to work the Ptarmigan, too.

73, Jim

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  (Same as Spartan Sprint)
