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

[Mike]

My antecdoctal evidence says it worked for me, both on the initial build 
and on the removal and re-installation of the DSP board after upgrade. 
I'm not going to argue with what Alan said, as I'm not qualified, but 
I'm betting the health of my K3 on it, and wouldn't hesitate to pull it 
out again. YMMV.

Perhaps Elecraft could publish what it considers to be minimum 
requirements, but I'd be willing to bet a cold 807 that because of 
liability issues, they'd go for the high-end specs.
