[VHFcontesting] Sweepstakes prize

[Zack Widup]

Yep, Jean Shepherd was K2ORS.  The current holder of K2ORS was probably 
one of the biggest fans of Jean in the world - hence, he got Jean's old 
call. Warren, the current K2ORS, is very active in the lowfer community 
and has an experimental LOWFer license from the FCC (WD2XGJ, WD2XSH/23, 
WE2XEB/2).
