[Elecraft] Soldering and ESD

[Rolf Moberg, OH6KXL]

Hello,

I am looking for a good tranceiver. It seems K2/100 could be good 
solution. I have some questions. My soldering station is Weller WHS 40. 
It's the cheapest one temperature controlled soldering iron from Weller. 
It is not ESD-solder.

My plan is to use ESD-carpet on the table, connect my wrist to ground 
bar on the wall via 1 Mohm resistor, and connect soldering iron's base 
spring to ground bar.

Iron's tip is not grounded. Could it be grounded during soldering job by 
hitting the tip to the grounded base spring?

How you folks have managed with no-ESD-soldering stations?

Another topic. My headset is Heil Pro Set plus, normal version (not Icom 
version). Could it be used with K2?
