[Amps] Isolation Transformer

No!

NFPA NEC (National Electrical Code) specifically states that all ground rods must be connected together.  Now there are practical situations, like when the r.f. ground, lightning ground, and electrical ground are widely separated that makes tying them together extremely difficult, if not a practical impossibility.  However, whenever possible NFPA NEC should definitely be followed.

The purpose of the ground wire in a 120v/240v branch circuit is to blow the fuse if a hot wire touches the metal cabinet. The RF grounding system is a horse of another color and usually has it's own ground rod seperate from the service main.
