This is a very cool experiment, even if the board doesn't end up being that practical (the antenna hack is going to be an ongoing issue I think) your documentation looks great at a glance!

Thank you! I agree, antenna definitely needs some improvement.
You should take the metal of the USB connector into account. This will significantly alter the emission pattern of the antenna. Try to find a radio amateur in your area, we have equipment to measure and software to predict antennas.
