[Elecraft] Anti-static Pads

[Fred Jensen]

Simplest way I know: Conductivity = 1 / Resistance.  All you need is a 
slide rule. :-)  But seriously,

Alan's method ... charge a capacitor to a known voltage, discharge it 
through the mat to a lower voltage measuring how long it takes, and use 
the RC time constant to calculate the resistance ... is about the 
simplest and maybe the most ingenious.
