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

service main.
