Re: Effectiveness of going Bare Foot? I'm writing in search of technical opinions. Am I in the right place? ; )
I am _not_ writing about running a rig "barefoot", without an amplifier. I am writing about building my K2 and add-on kits _with one foot bare_ -- bare foot skin in direct contact with a linoleum-tile floor, and _never while on a carpet_. I do this in addition to having an anti-static mat and a wristband attached thereto. My questions are the following: Does the bare foot on the bare floor provide any protection at all? Does it provide protection without a mat? Does a bare foot on a non-carpeted floor add to the protection provided by an anti-static mat. I first began employing this practice in the 1980's, when I was building and frequently working on my own desktop PC "clones". 73 Sam KN7C ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
