Ground Planes

[skypn]

Do they help. Should I try and incorporate them in my designs, and are they ever harmful? I make my boards by isolation routing on an CNC mill, so there is a whole LOT of copper left sitting there .

They are helpful, you just have to watch for ground plane islands. Sometimes a section of ground gets cut off from the plane, by traces.
