Interesting notion to solve the problem, though I am guessing
the RFI experts here may want to look at why your ground wire
is getting RFI - both the sources and something about your
grounding system.

However, in theory, if the ground wire is functioning as an
antenna for airborne RF I seem to recall that grounding only
end of the coax shield may block those signals.

I look forward to the better-informed replies to come.  I
love to learn about this stuff!

Does it ever make sense to shield a ground wire?  Or is this a silly idea?

I'm thinking of trying running coax to my ground rod instead of copper
wire.  The copper wire is picking up tons of RFI.
