Looks good Rigmo, I see it has a few extras for SWR monitoring. The Gerbers I shared are more or less a direct copy from the Dutch RF version, which as I recall has a full grounding plane on the bottom side.

I haven't got the data for that with me at present, but will get that posted here asap. But someone may post that sooner for you.
