In most cases, RF ground is a fallacy. The right length of conductor can
make it so that there's zero difference RF-wise between having it connected
and having it not connected to the ground rod. A ground conductor starts
rapidly losing effectiveness RF-wise at one-tenth a wavelength (about 6' on
10m) and longer.
In ALL cases RF ground has no meaning. A connection to the earth does
NOT make a TX antenna work better, nor is it part of a solution to hum,
buzz, or RFI. What do you think "RF ground" means?
