Thank you all for those points raised.

Moral is: There's no such thing as earth "ground"
at 50 feet in the air. There are only ground planes,
counterpoises, and other conductors that become part
of the antenna system. Even the ground wire on an
artificial ground device radiates.

What if one put a diode in that ground line?

Then it would no longer be linear to RF. Seems
to me, it would generate some industrial grade
harmonics.

you thought you had noise before?? try putting in the diode and see what you
get!
