ESD Mats

Where can one find a inexpensive ESD mat? Or what can be used as an ESD mat? Also, what about a ESD wrist attachment? Where do you find them? Also, I guess you would hook them to the station ground? Comments are welcome Lee - K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Hello,
One source of ESD stations is Radio Shack. The RS Part number is, 276-2370. It is a complete kit, priced at $24.99 The web address is http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102871&cp=&sr=1&origkw=static+mat&kw=static+mat&parentPage=search There was also an article in QST, Jan 2000 on homebrewing an ESD mat, but I don't have it. Wish I did.

I picked up a good quality name brand mat on Ebay
for $35. It included the ground kit and a bottle of cleaning solution. The seller is Stanley Supply and Services. They have more - see Ebay item 200195839901 No connection with the seller, just a happy buyer. 73, john WA1ABI > > Where can one find a inexpensive ESD mat?
