Two suggestions. Both require study.
1) Buy and study N0AX's new ARRL book on Grounding and Bonding.
and/or
2) download and study the slides for my tutorial slide show on the topic.

I put my shack together several years ago and today was reviewing my grounding
system hoping that I could find a magic trick that might quiet some of my noise
on 80 and 160.
I've got a decent grounding bus on the back of my desk with a #6 copper wire running
about 8' through the floor to the electrical grounding wire that runs from the
electrical panel about 6' outside to ground rods. I could also or instead run
my grounding wire to a copper cold water pipe that runs about 75' before it leaves
the house.
Am I better off leaving it as is, grounded to the electrical ground? Or would
the cold water pipe be better?
