Jesse, Sacrifice a three wire plug/cord. Cut the cord at a convenient length. Expose the ground wire and trim the insulation. Solder a 1 Meg resistor to the ground wire. You can solder a piece of hookup wire to the other side of the resistor and form a small soldered loop to connect the alligator clip to. Heat shrink everything when you are sure there are no exposed hot/common leads. Plug it in and melt some solder. If you are still concerned about the hot lead, clip the plug hot prong off.

I have a table mat with snap on alligator clip. I do not have unpainted metal ground. How exactly do I do this using a resistor and 3 prong plug ?? 73 de Jesse W6JMM _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
