Keith,
possibly I am just the first of many to ask but can you elaborate a
little more on this method you used. I can't see how you could get a
conductive connection through the prepreg layering to connect the layers you
seem to be indicating were connected.
My suspicion is that this was accomplished through expensive
controlled depth drilling? If you don't know, could you ask your fabricator
how they accomplished this? Some how that prepreg had to be drilled (post
lamination) and plated across to make the connection between odd layers.
