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.

With Elecraft matching units you don't need (and it can be
undesirable to have) antennas made for a particular band. You make
life easier for the matching unit by making your antenna non-resonant
on bands you want to use.
This statement makes no sense. It may be convenient, but antennas
optimized per band work better than simple one-size fits all
solutions. In this context, "work better" means you're louder and hear
better.
