[Elecraft] ESD mat

[KM5Q]

Robert,

There was lots of discussion of this on the list a month or two ago,  
but suffice to say there are many sources and it seems a lot of them  
cost about $25. Nobody had any significant reasons to recommend one  
kind over another.

Here's a cheaper source, and while you're at it, a fine company for  
good tools and other great ham stuff.

Get their larger mat, only $9.95

I used their strap and mat and My K3 survived assembly 100% even in  
dry static-prone wx.

In all the previous discussions, nobody mentioned to be careful what  
you wear! No wool or fleece, for example. Maybe that's just obvious.
