I hope this is not considered spam... I created a listserver newsgroup several weeks ago with the hopes of discussing anything to do with printed circuit board construction techniques needed specifically to pass, certify, or be approved by various agencies such as the FCC, UL, Bellcore, etc. It is by no means intended to detract from this or any other discussion group. Most of the members, there's only about 28 of us, are electrical engineers with heavy experience with all sorts of agency test experience and board construction techniques to pass these tests. The membership list is closed for viewing so you can join and lurk without anyone knowing you're a member. Also, the Onelist discussion groups allow you 3 choices: first - to receive each and every post; second - to receive a digest of posts about 50k bytes big; third - opt to receive no posts with the "web only" option to view digests from the web page listed below. That way, your In box will never fill up. It is my hope that this group can be used as a significant resource to enhance you professionals who have helped me in many ways over the years. If you are involved with any questions regarding printed circuit board construction methods for agency test requirements, I invite you to join up and post some questions.
