u-Blox receivers are very ESD sensitive. A sample from the data sheet:
"To prevent electrostatic discharge through the RF input, do not touch
any exposed antenna area. If there is any risk that such exposed antenna
area is touched in non ESD protected work area, implement proper ESD
protection measures in the design."

SAW filters are sometimes used between the antenna and receiver and
those have their own ESD problems.
