Test S-Band Antenna Match, and needed size of ground plane #179

Connector needs to be re-soldered
Test with different amounts of coil
Make sure new antenna board has a full ground plane

Connector re-soldered, It was on backwards. Tested with different amounts of foil. With foil match was around 1.13 VSWR, without it was 1.38. Next board needs to have more copper, but we don't need a total re-design.
