Your "theory" has some big holes. I suggest that you study either N0AX's
recent ARRL book on grounding and bonding, or my own tutorial slide show
on the topic. I worked extensively with Ward on the book, and you'll
find my tutorial referenced in it.

My theory has always been that, with the station equipment well bonded
together, it is safe to leave the ground connected, as long as
EVERYTHING else is disconnected. That leaves no path for current to flow
through anything. I can disconnect the transmitting antennas with one
coax, all the control cables and rx antennas with another big connector,
and power with one 120 and one 240 V plug. That just leaves the ethernet
cable, which I try not to forget.
