from the Webmaster: There is no phone line out of Ft Yukon,
only a satellite phone link. We have had some problems getting the
pictures due to interference from the aurora borealis (northern lights)
From time to time there may be some delays, but we are doing our best to
work through this at both ends. (Alaska & Ambler) - John
