G'day, <snip> Today in Hong Kong we have relative humidity (RH) of 55% (temp a 'freezing' 16 C), compared to our norm of 90 - 100% RH and temp 30 C+ <snip>
I assume the 16C was outside not inside. <snip These past two days my daughter and xyl have mentioned several 'static shocks' when they play with our cats, all 6 of them. I remember my school kid days of cats tail static generators, but there's a serious question behind this. Under what conditions of RH do most builders of Elecraft rigs operate? <snip> RH in the house is of the order 40-60% temp 20-22C most of the time. No cats, no ESD countermeasures besides touching an earthed object before picking up sensitive devices. Not killed one yet.
