As an avid 4WD SUV owner I do a lot of outback travelling (Austrlian
Deserts, Cape York, Kimberly Coast) and as such have a Barrett 950 HFradio

Would it be preferable when camped / stationary to earth the vehile to a
"ground" ground = what I am looking for is a better receive signal ?????



I do not believe anything will improve the receive on the antenna you
are using, what ever it may be. If you are going to be parked, put up
"stick dipole" just as high as you can. That will help recieve and
transmit.
