[AK-VHF] New Cub Callsign

[Brandon Clark]

Hi Mike,

No problem - I can understand heading south for some sun and warmth. 
Hopefully I'll catch you on the air for the June event.

In that one I'm hoping to be running some additional modes: keyboard 
digital and probably an WSJT mode or two. I've never run the WSJT modes 
before, but am going to start using them to help (hopefully) with SOTA 
activations. If we can get WSJT modes and 6 M activity into the VHF 
contests up here then that adds a lot more potential participants as 
well as makes a lot more territory accessible on VHF. Anchorage to 
Kodiak anyone?

Brandon
