grounding will only help some rf issues, not all, and personally I don't 
even think most. There's a lot to consider, proximity of the antenna to the 
radio, example, if it's too close to the radio, that can do it, my 40 meter 
dipole there is no explanation for it but I have it when I run power. 
Usually dipoles won't have that problem, but a long wire is likely to. 
Length of your ground line can do it too. I gave up trying to run an rf 
ground here because it would be so long it was causing more problems than 
anything else, yet other than that 40 meter dipole problem which was worse 
with the ground, I have no problem at all. I actually think the problem 
there for me is the way my help putting the antenna up did his strain relief 
on the coax but I'm not going to fix it now, the cobra ultralite works just 
as well with no rf so I'll run that until I move then fix that.
