[Elecraft] K2 problem: C44 at the limit

So K2 #4355 took less than a week to complete. (I cheated. 20 years ago
I won the VICA Industrial Electronics national competition, the run-off,
and they sent me to Europe to compete for the US.) It's not the
prettiest, but it seems to work.

So the only oddity is that C44 is at one of the limits, or so it seems.
The slot is vertical, meaning the C is either maximum or minimum. L12,
L13, and C46 didn't seem to affect it.

So, anyone have any suggestions? Ignore it, parallel another cap for
testing, etc?

A friend has challenged me to make at least one contact on it before I
start installing the options. I better start working on my antennas.
