Some traveling-wave antennas are wired "directly" to
ground at the far end. We are dealing with distributed
RF networks, not DC circuits. A DC ground wire 1/4WL
long is usually NOT an RF ground at all.

If one installs artificial ground circuitry between the
radio antenna and the ground rod, one can either attenuate
the signal or not depending upon the settings of the
artificial ground.
