Default Neat (?) Grounding Idea

For those few of us whose radio happens to be located just a few feet from

a
bit of thick wire into the grounding hole of a standard 3-wire AC sockek?
Looks like the house ground would be a decent RF ground when the run is just
about 5 feet from the socket in question to the ground rod.

Anyone know any drawbacks to this?
