[Elecraft] Anti-Static Grounding - how?

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/KC8NHF]

They don't need one.
The idea is to keep you, your tools,  the equipment your working on  and 
your PSU, antenna, test equipment etc at the same potential. It doesn't 
matter what that potential. Your mains electricity supply ground is 
certainly sufficient as most things will already be connected to it.
