Added a ground braid to the mount, and it seemed to make a pretty
significant change in how the antenna tuned. I need much less capacitance
to get to 50 ohms now. I ended up cutting the braid a bit long, will have
to shorten that up a it so it won't flop around as much.

Screwdriver controller
Here's the mounting for the screwdriver controller. Unfortunately, it hangs
a bit too far back and the glovebox door hits it. A bit of a bend should
make it clear with no problem.
