We report radio observations, with the Very Large Array at 5 GHz,
of type IIb supernova SN 2013ak (= PSN J08070669-2803101; ATEL #4874, #4943, #4944)
in the nearby galaxy ESO 430-020. On 17 Mar 2013, we detect a radio source coincident
with the optical position (CBET 3437). Followup observations are ongoing.
We thank the NRAO staff for their support in carrying out these observations.
