[Elecraft] Anti-static Pads

[Fred Jensen]

10^9+ ohms [1,000 megohms or more] is pretty much "non-conductive" for 
anything we ordinary hams have to measure it.  My Heath MM-1 just 
doesn't register at that. :-)

Whether or not your mat is any good for ESD protection, and whether or 
not you can believe the specs if it has them, depends a lot on where it 
comes from.
