Near as I can figure, AK does not do 160M.  I've been on for years and have yet to even hear an AK on 160M in MN.  If you find somebody in AKland, send him/her my way too.  I've worked a sweep (minus AK) several times in various 160M contests.  I've got every other state and section booked many times over.  I've even worked a JA from here (Ok only 1).  But AK?  Nope!

Around these parts, AK is the most needed NA entity, without question.
