In the 2003 edition the AK "counties" are listed as the four regions of AK - Central, North-West, South-Central and South-East. Maybe the county hunters has changed their definition since then? Waiting for the 2006 edition and my DSL hookup to upgrade. I did find a bookmark in my browser that I had forgotten about that has a better definition of what areas are included in the various judicial districts. Take a look at http://www.qsl.net/kl7j/county.htm 73, Gary AL9A
