[Elecraft] K3 - static discharge

[Fred Jensen]

Hmmm ... not uncommon for our relative humidity to be in single digits, 
and it's very often less than 20%.  I never get shocked by static 
discharge.  However, when we lived in Auburn CA with numbers in the 30 
to 50% range, it happened all the time.  There must be more to it than 
water vapor.
