We are drifting off the original topic a bit here, but RF should never be
"grounded". RF energy is expensive to generate and should never be wasted by
running it through lossy dirt. Keep it up in the air where it belongs.
"Grounding" your equipment is to prevent shock from the AC mains and/or to help
prevent damage from lightning. Not for RF.
