[Elecraft] k1 static charge

[Don Baucom]

Im operating portable from Taos, NM. I am using a K1 on the front porch. the
antenna is a long wire about 80ft drapped over the roof connecred to binding
post on the bact of the k1. The negavtive post has a 6 foot wire connected
to it. The K1 will tune it to 1.5 swr. The issue is almost everytime I touch
the case, I get a static spark. This seems worrisome. Should I be worried?.
If so, what should I do? Taos is at 7000 feet with virtually no humidty.
