[TowerTalk] Rig on Second Floor - Grounding

All:

My son, who recently got his license, is looking to use his FT-817 on the
digital modes, specifically PSK31, RTTY, etc.  His bedroom/shack is on the
second floor.  I have a simple 20M dipole (that we built) hanging off a tree
near his window.

I plan to use a Rigblaster NOMIC or equal.  He will use a small power supply
and L-100 tuner (when I get another antenna up in the air).

How is the best way to achieve an RF ground?  Any suggestions on an
electrical ground?  Remember - he is on the second floor.

Thank you.
