[Elecraft] Assembly mat

[S Sacco]

If you're going to do this, why not save more $$$, and just grab some
aluminum foil, and spread it out on the table?

I can't *imagine* why not a single one of those smarty-pants
engineering types has ever thought of this, and instead, specify
special anti-static mats.  :-)

For whatever it's worth, I bought my mat for ~ $29 from CyberGuys:

It was pretty nice, although I don't have much to compare it to.

Be careful, okay?
