GMT+10, surely, unless the sun started rising in the west
when I wasn't looking. Hawaii is in the right place to
be GMT-10 ... maybe that's the source of the confusion?

The most recent atlas I have says that eastern Alaska is GMT-9,
western Alaska and Hawaii are GMT-10, and the westernmost Aleutians
are GMT-11. No info about daylight savings habits. A ten-year-old
atlas claims that all of mainland Alaska is GMT-9. They may have
changed things up there recently ... I think we need a native
guide ...
