Bert,

I made a 2 inch mesh chicken wire screen shield out of a 2"X3/4" fir strapping
frame, 6 feet wide X 8 feet tall, which rolls around on castors.  I run a 
flexible wire to this screen to ground.  Hiding behind this screen I 
am perfectly safe even with powerful streamers striking the screen 
with my nose just a few inches behind it (this looks REALLY cool!).  There is
no "static" problem behind the shadow of this screen.  This could be the trick 
safety gear for you now!  Costs relatively little to make, and could 
save your life, as well as test equipment.
