The whole idea of tying all grounds together, (outside the home, and with 
large enough conductor to minimize voltage gradients from lightning, is so 
that everything goes up in potential, (voltage) together and comes back down 
together, as much as conductor resistance allows.  And bonding of all 
grounds is required by National Electrical Code.  This could affect your 
fire insurance if you did not bond all.

However, I would, and do, disconnect my antennas and power from the radios 
when not in use.
