OK one more time..It is as simple as this...A balanced antenna up more than 1/4 
wavelength "sees" infinite impedance to ground,   So to save your copper braid 
etc put your antenna up 1/4 wavelength and make certain it is balanced at feed 
point, then you do not need any ground other AC safety grounds.  Stray RF in 
the shack needs attention.  RF can kill with prolonged exposure.  Other than 
poorly shielded gear, the two conditions above cause RF problems
