[Elecraft] Isolated tip

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

OK folks, I will try an entire re-write to get the info out.  Prior attemps 
were rejected because of some offenive word(s) in the body.

I discovered that I had modified my Soloman station 5 years ago.  I added 
one 1 meg resistor from a wire that does connect to the tip shell to the 
grounding post on the back and another 1 meg resistor from the grounding 
post to the line cord ground wire, so my soldering station does have an ESD 
discharging path to ground.  Easy to do, and I will supply details if anyone 
asks.

73,
