The vagaries of Alaskas radio waves" are many and peculiar.
 For instance: Every morning, Fe- lix Aubuchon talks to Rainy Pass radio station by radio telephone Then he tells what Rainy Pass said.
 The oddness of the situation lies in the fact that Anchorage lies between Juneau and Rainy Pass and that the Rainy Pass radio waves skip Anchorage to Ju- neau-so Aubuchon sends them back to Anchorage from Juneau telling the distant Anchorage op- orator literally what the weather is in his back yard.
