Yeah, but it's only a partial crock of ****. The rain gutters or wire
or
whatever are only half the dipole so the house wiring will become
the other active half and they will radiate. He grounds his tuner to
a ground rod, but also his coax to the radio will tie him in to the
service ground of the residence.
Why would his coax tie him to the service ground?
Radio antenna connector to radio chassis ground.
Radio chassis ground to radio power plug. Radio power
plug to wall outlet. Wall outlet to service ground.
Mobile radio with a power supply. Power supply has a transformer, which
isolates
it it from direct connection. The PS is an old RS unit which does not
have a
ground on it's plug.
So in essence, you're wrong.

sigh. Look at a schematic sometime. The PS transformer ain't isolating
*anything* from ground, dude.
On a 2 wire system, the case has to be isolated. On a 3 wire system, the
case is tied to ground, and not the neutral. Can YOU read a schematic?
