Thanks again to all who responded. Now I have a better response than 'good
for nothing' if asked. And thanks a bunch for the mil- spec, Jeffrey! Even
though it's obsolete, it's always good to have reference materail.

We still spec /21 for most of our boards at present, btw.

Best Regards,
-Chris

Hello Oracles, etc...

Within our standard note for specifying bareboard material is a reference
to "TYPE GFN". Anyone out there know what that means? I sure don't...

A quick googling finds other folks out there referencing it (along with
definitions like 'Good For Nothing' and "Gone For Now'), but I couldn't
locate an explanation of it's meaning related to FR4...

Thanks and Happy Tuesday,
-Chris
