No!

NFPA NEC (National Electrical Code) specifically states that all ground rods 
must be connected together.  Now there are practical situations, like when the 
r.f. ground, lightning ground, and electrical ground are widely separated that 
makes tying them together extremely difficult, if not a practical 
impossibility.  However, whenever possible NFPA NEC should definitely be 
followed.

The purpose of the ground wire in a 120v/240v branch circuit is to blow the 
fuse if a hot wire touches the metal cabinet. The RF grounding system is a 
horse of another color and usually has it's own ground rod seperate from the 
service main.
