[Elecraft] New antenna works!

I just got done bushwhacking my new antenna up.  Three 1/4 wavelength 
legs cut for 7100 kHz.  It's working as a 1/4 wave vertical with a 
ground plane of the two legs.  I turned on my K3 and checked 40 meters.  
Only W1AW currently.  But the new antenna matches on 20 meters too.  So 
I scanned around and heard N7CQR running stations at 579.  I waited my 
turn and logged Dan as the first for the new antenna.  I'm sure he is 
running either a KX3 or KX2.  He didn't mention which.  So, new antenna 
works Elecraft rigs just fine.  Plus I knew who it was halfway through 
his call :)  He is calling CQ SOTA on 14061.5 kHz if you need another 
mountain in your log.
