Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: How wide tracks - botom and top layer = 1 conductor?

Hi,
Do you really think You make capacitors? I thought that the definition
of a capacitor is: two conductors separated by a nonconductor. The last
part is trough, but the said 2 conductors are not two conductors, but
one conductor split in two pads (bottom- and top layer) because on
either end and even on other places where they are soldered together. At
VERY high frequencies this might be not completely right thou.
