much now!

<21:37:21> "John - AJ6BC": OK - got DFM report from Sunstone - 
pretty nice - especially for the $$$ - it was free!

<21:37:34> "Bill - KD5TFD": ?DFM?

<21:38:06> "John - AJ6BC": Design For Manufacture - it is a 
process where manufacturing and fabrication rules are run 
against the gerbers.

got on paper can actually been built

<21:38:47> "Bill - KD5TFD": wow .. pricey
