Rich:

The dielectric constant for FR4 may vary with epoxy content, 
frequency, and temperature.  Below are measured properties for NEMA
FR-4 material which is an E-Glass woven fabric and fire-retardant epoxy
resin FR4:

Epoxy Content     Frequency   Dielectric
[volume percent]  [MHz]          Constant (@temperature = 295 K)
55                       1                 4.86
60                       1                 4.71
75                       1                 4.33
55                       100             4.68
60                       100             4.49
75                       100             4.09

Temperature       Dielectric
[K]                     Constant (@frequency = 1 MHz)
293                    4.89
303                    4.89
313                    4.90
323                    4.90
333                    4.91
343                    4.93
353                    4.98
363                    5.05
373                    5.13
383                    5.24
393                    5.38
403                    5.64
413                    6.17
