ok, I was not precise. I am an amateur. What I am looking for is
getting copper board for less than what digikey is selling.

Digikey's prices are good on a lot of things, copperclad isn't one of them.
Almost anyplace would be cheaper. If you don't have decent hamfests up
there, you can find plenty on the other side of the border.

I generally pick up most of mine at the Findlay, Ohio fest, a bit of a hike
for you, and probably not a large enough fest to make it worth the trip. I
go every other year and a two year supply generally costs me around twenty
bucks.

Dayton is worth the trip, and if you are a builder, then the QRP conference
FDIM is well worth the trip all by itself. For copperclad, though, you need
to be quick at Dayton. Even though there is an amazing amount of stuff
there, the decent deals on copperclad are often all gone by the middle of
the day Friday.
