[Elecraft] Static mat repair?

Hi Michael.
1. Keep the Humidity up as high as possible.
2. Keep your wrist strap on when handling your rig, 
stay grounded and keep your ESD sensitive rig on the ground mat. 
The most important thing is to stay at the same potential as your rig. 
Touch the chassis of your rig before touching thing else on the rig.
Your movements are what causes static.
If you do that you will do well.
You don't need a ground mat for your feet if you have a grounded table mat 
and a grounded wrist strap.
3. Go to www.esda.org and check out some of the training information.
