Ground surrounding antenna #4

While the ground is cleared right underneath the antenna, there is still a ground loop surrounding it. It would be better to move the module right up to the edge of the PCB, or at least clear the ground plane right up to the edge of the PCB, for antenna performance. Great project btw, I've also looked at these little LEDs and thought it'd be great to make a little display with them :)

image The ground plane was already to the edge, but I may be misinterpreting what you mean. Anyway, I have also widened the keepout to free up the antenna a bit more. :) Thanks!

I think I was looking at an old version of the gerbers, sorry. Certainly looks better now!
