[RFI] RFI cured with 1/4 wave wire

Jim:

I get the distinction between a lightning ground and an RF ground.  In
the case of an end-fed wire (that would be me) where a small portion of
the antenna comes right into the shack, that seems the likely source of
my ills (since the problem does not occur on all bands).

What am I missing here?  Every schematic I've seen of an end-fed wire
shows a ground symbol at the tuner.  As all my equipment chassis are
connected (perhaps not "bonded") to a thick ground wire - that means the
tuner is as well.
