[Elecraft] Radio Shack ESD mat doesn't meet spec

[David Christ]

So the question becomes does it work well enough for assembling 
Elecraft kits even though it does not meet industry specs.  Not 
backing any particular horse in this race, but I know that there are 
other areas in which industry specs are overkill for me.

Who knows the answer?
