Default Safety ground versus RF ground for a 2nd Floor shack

There is absolutely no reason to have an RF ground unless:

1.) You are end feeding a single wire antenna that is brought into the
shack

2.) The two conductor feedline you have brought in, be it coax or open
wire, is connected to an antenna that is not properly designed or
installed

The safety ground is required. The RF ground is a band-aid for
something else being wrong.
