This is a VERY BAD thing to do. ALL grounds within a building, MUST, 
by LAW be BONDED together by a low impedance path (that means BEEFY, 
DEPENDABLE, and SHORT). This is a requirement because it is the 
SAFEST thing you can do, both for lightning safety and safety for 
personnel. If this doesn't work for you, you need to fix your 
station, especially your antenna system. And if you've read 
somewhere that you should make that separation, burn that book!
