[Elecraft] New antenna works!

[kevinr]

The new, resonant antenna performs well.  It is much quieter than the 
doublet I have constructed as an inverted-V.  I compare one to the other 
when I locate a signal and find the resonant antenna works very well.  
The real test will be to see where my signal 'lands' across the US and 
Canada during the Sunday nets.
