Here is an old trick for grounding. Insolated wire in the ground
doesn't hurt anything just may not give you as good of a ground. If you
have a long run, say from your radio to your ground rod, use a piece of
coax. Use center conductor for ground wire, and on each end tie center
through a .01 cap to the shield. Works and keeks the ground wire from
becoming a radiator.
