When I built my K2 (#337) I used a wrist strap electrostatic ground connected to my station ground which went a short distance out the window and to a ground rod. Now, in a different house, my station is on the second floor and I have no easy access to a ground. I guess I should have my K2 grounded, but I haven't worried about it since I'm running a balanced antenna. However, I'm now building a K1 and I'm worried about handling the electrostatic sensitive components. What would you guys recommend for this? Can I safely ground my wrist strap to the AC ground? Or should I bite the bullet and run a ground out the window (about 12' from my radio desk) and down 2 stories to a ground rod? Or what else???
