Why ground the transmitter?
Roy!
Just a legitimate crude guess - perhaps biassed a little in the
opposite direction to the normal excessive bias.
If I remember correctly, you, your very good self, used Eznec to
demonstrate that even under the most adverse worst-case conditions you
could think of, power radiated from the feedline is only a fraction of
that radiated from the antenna.
.. . . . . and the equipment being interfered with is in the
near-field of the antenna just as it is in the near-field of the
feedline. That, for most people, includes your next-door neighbors.
Especially if your next-door neighbors happen to be within the antenna
beam.

That's an interesting statistic. How did you arrive at it?

99 % of RFI is due to radiation from the very nearby antenna.
