[Elecraft] Activity in ancient 15-meter novice band (21.1 MHz)

[Tighe Kuykendall]

I resemble that slow code remark...  As a relatively new licensee (about 
14yrs), I never did much with CW other than pass the code element for 
General.  Lately I've been making an effort to get more proficient with 
CW, as in haven't used a mic in at least 2 months other than a couple of 
local 10m rag chews.  I find myself dragging my KX3 around with me 
everywhere I go, so thanks to Elecraft for designing such a capable yet 
portable rig.

My sincerest thanks to all those that stop by the slow code portions of 
the bands to help others learn and improve!
