What you have learned is that "Ground is NOT Ground, the World Around"
an Old Radiomans adage from an earlier generation. Power Distribution
Ground is not the same as RF Ground, and mostly the two are Mutually
Exclusive.

You ask what makes a better "RF" Ground than earth itself? That is
very simple. Ocean Sal****er makes a much better RF Ground, than
anything you have, or can build, on earth.
