I did fix my problems already. My antenna systems are not incomplete.
Of course more and higher masts would be nice, hi.
But if I run over 1KW to my 4el Yagi on 40m and my PC stops working,
I have to fix that problem. I did not use the band aid either.
Nowadays my ham shack is more like Faraday shield, hi. And lightning
safe.
I still like to use word "grounding" meaning low impedance route to
common point near earth potential.

This is NOT a solution, it is a "band aid." The real CAUSES of the
problems you are trying to solve are with improper or inadequate
BONDING between equipment, and incomplete antenna systems.
There is RF on that earth wire you are "tuning" because you are
PUTTING the RF there. That wire is a conductor, so it is an ANTENNA,
so it will radiate the current that you put on it and it will
receive noise. That earth wire is a problem either because your
antenna systems are incomplete -- perhaps you have no counterpoise
or radials on a long wire, for example, so return current for the
antenna flows on that earth wire, so it is part of your antenna --
or because failure to bond together all equipment and all grounds
causes current on that earth wire to couple into equipment. To
understand how this happens, study the tutorial material on "The Pin
One Problem," on my website.

One Problems.
