What's a  good place to get a better quality  one or two-sided  board?



A professional PCB house!  No, I'm NOT talking about $$!!  The  "good ones" 
don't use laminate remnants smaller than about 4" wide, and they  often GIVE 
this away to hobbiests who stop by, or sell it for pennies.   Last time I 
visited such a place (they now do multi-layer as well as 2-sided  PTH), they gave me 
maybe six or seven lbs. of the stuff, and in four years, I'm  not half-way 
through it all! ONE caveat:  It is mostly 1/2 oz. copper, as  ALL their stuff 
involves PTH, so it gets "thickened" in the plating  process.  But, that only 
means the user hasta be "more carefuller"!
