It's almost impossible to get a good ground up there, I've gone so far as to
run no ground at all on my station on the second floor. I for a while ran an
MFJ artificial ground, basically a counter poise tuner, but that can only
handle 300 watts. I got the amp and disconnected it, it's still disconnected
and I have no problems. If you have a good ground though, I'm not saying
disconnect it, there is probably lot less headache to just leave your
equipment where it is, but I'll say honestly, a second floor station, if you
absolutely have to, I'd start with no ground. If I had a choice, I'd move to
the cellar in a second or at least first floor.
