[Elecraft] ESD Mat - Helpful Hint

[WA6OCP]

I am sure others may have discovered this, but I will mention it anyway.

It takes about one second to find out that a wrist strap, and its lead, are
frequently in the way.  I solved that problem by sliding the wrist band
halfway up my forearm.

Unfortunately, it doesn't remond you to take it off when you get up from the
table or put it back on when you sit down.  ;-)
