[Elecraft] ESD mat

[Jerry Flanders]

I simply clip a little alligator clip lead to my 
metal watch wristband. The lead is connected to 
my shack ground through a 1 meg resistor. A few 
feet of wire allows me mobility. I have been 
doing this for several years and it apparently works well for zero cost.
