I want to use a known 6 layer PCB stacking of materials / thickness that
we know works with the Calypso/Iota/Rita.  Particularly on the RF side,
I don't want to spend time re-calculating all the impedance matched /
controlled parts.  That's the part that is hard to measure if we get it
wrong.  So just do the safe thing and stay with the "known working"
case.

Regards,
	Harald
