What ground? Do you use a seperate ground going from your radio
chassis to a ground rod? I have my equipment bonded together but no RF
ground and no RFI issues.

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.
In any case, my primary goal is to prevent a fire, and disconnecting the
ground from the equipment probably wouldn't help there. I hope I never
have to test that theory.
