This is not a good rf ground.   It's possible that all the pipes in your 
house are acting as an antenna.  It would be a lot better  to run a ground 
wire to a ground rod  outside your shack.

here are some questions that can help the group help you:

What bands?

How much power?  Are you running that amp?

Where is your shack?  Basement? Third floor?  How close to the outside?


You can try a counterpoise wire.  234/freq in mhz.  Attach  1 end to the 
ground screw on the rig and stretch the wire out along a wall.    Maybe not 
a good idea for high power.  Put a piece of tape on the other end of the 
wire since it will be hot with rf, even at 100 watts.

Have fun, Steve KW3A
