[Elecraft] Static Discharge Through K-Pod

[James Wilson]

Chuck,

I'm also in an area of low humidity and such static discharges

are a problem. I have everything grounded together and a small

patch of aluminum foil connected with a 1 megohn resistor. After

a trip across the carpet and before touching anything, I touch the

foil. The resistor prevents a spark but discharges the charge. That

may be worth a try for you.
