[Elecraft] GROUNDING STRAP

[John R. Lonigro]

Bill:
You only NEED to use the wrist grounding strap when handling some ICs 
and some of the transistors.  To be safe, I use it for all ICs and 
transistors, but especially the ones that are supplied in anti-static 
foam.  Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are not sensitive to static 
and are easier to handle if you don't have one wrist on a leash.

73's and good luck,
