Mr. Buetow,
I recently subscribed to the Designer Council list and received this post. I'm a relatively new PCB
Designer (two years) and am interested in learning all that I can. I live in Birmingham, AL and am
interested in attending the meeting in Atlanta. Any organizations I should join, trade shows I should go
to, etc? Any info/guidance you could give me would be appreciated. I am currently using Accel P-CAD PCB
and Schematic along with Cadence Specctra Autorouter.
Sincerely,
Mark Love
