[Elecraft] Wrist strap ground...

[Steve Kallal]

I have been building the KPA100 100 watt option for the K2. I'm half through
page 16 right now. Very soon I'll be installing some of the solid state
devices. I have a ground strap but am hard pressed in deciding where to
ground it. I have an new Weller WTCPT soldering station, which is highly
recommended by Scott at Elecraft. It is supposed to have a grounded tip.
 
My work table is set up away from any outlets. Even the soldering station is
power through an oranged extension cable from the next room. My shack
outlets are all committed. I don't see a place on the soldering station to
connect the strap to. I could make up a long braid from my station ground,
which runs to a ground rod just outside the shack wall.
 
I didn't bother with a ground strap for the diodes, although a re-reading of
the manual recommends it.
 
Any anti-static grounding ideas out there?
