Paul, & others,

What protections would you recommend a hobbyist take to ensure
low/less risk of ESD in the usual home ham shack?

Grounded (with 1Megaohm resistance) wrist strap?
Anti-static bench mat?
Anti-static floor mat?
Anti-static shoes or shoe strap? (the shoes/socks combination I often
wear to work can cause a static spark when getting out of my car in
the winter)
100% cotton lab coat?

Normally in the summers I'm trying to dehumidify my work area,
although the winters it tends to be both cold and dry.

Thanks,
 Michael VE3TIX
