Erdős problem 355

Is there a lacunary sequence A⊆NA\subseteq \mathbb{N} (so that A={a1<⋯ }A=\{a_1 < \cdots\} and there exists some λ>1\lambda > 1 such that an+1/an≥λa_{n+1}/a_n\geq \lambda for all n≥1n\geq 1) such that {∑a∈A′1a:A′⊆A finite}\left\{ \sum_{a\in A'}\frac{1}{a} : A'\subseteq A\textrm{ finite}\right\} contain all rationals in some open interval?
