Randy,
ESD ground is really only needed between you and the radio/PCBA.
When you move you generate static.
You and the radio could be both up at 1000V and still be safe.
Just make sure there is no potential between you and the PCBA.
Ground your soldering iron to your ESD matt and your wrist strap to your ESD 
Matt.
You really need an ESD work station matt.
Go to www.esda.org for ESD Training.
