Is there affordable software I can use to map out circuit traces for a printed circuit board?
 

I about ready to design and build my own solid state RF amp. Is
there a good and affordable piece of software out there that I can use
to neatly map out the circuit traces for my printed circuit board.

http://www.cadsoft.de/freeware.htm might be sufficient, depending on
the size of the board you plan to make.

EasyTrax is a freeware program Protel released for DOS computers years ago. it
will run on Windows 98 in a DOS windowm too.

Do a google search and you'll find many sites that have it for download.

One note, it doesn't have surface mount pads, so it's through-hole or kludge in
the SM parts.
