The concept of "RF ground loop" does not compute for me. It seems we are 
getting audio concepts in here. The ground length as a function of frequency 
will be all over the place from band to band. It seems that the best way to 
keep RF out of the shack is not have it there in the first place. Certainly 
it would be difficult (impossible?) to simply send it to ground in most 
shacks. The concept of safety and RF grounds are apples and oranges. Am I 
missing something here?
