Hi Phil,

We have several Alaskans living in this area who kept their calls.  I don't
know about any of them but I've heard several different numbers used by hams
living in Alaska.  I don't know how this division came about but I think
they might denote different areas of the State.  Sorry I can't be of more
help.

Take care and very 73.

Colleen,

I run across lots of local hams with AL7 and KL7 and NL7 and WL7 and NL7 
calls but the one's I am curious about are all the other numbers other than 
7 in the call sign.  I thought the letters I mentioned, and the number 7, 
were all reserved for Alaska.
