I keep reading the RF energy gets absorbed and converted to heat in the
resister. The counterpoise provides the return path, not the earth
ground, I think. See one here:

There are some interesting antennas I have been reading about in the "ARRL's
Wire Antenna Classics" book which require a terminating resistor at one end.
These go to a ground stake.
That ground stake is not necessary for DC ground.
It seems to me, in this case, the ground stake is indeed an RF ground.
