The GND screw on a SW Radio

Thanks for the reply

What about connecting to the same ground rod the house panel connects
to? Or would that introduce AC hum?

Just curious. On a modern radio, (without a coax connector), if I was
to connect a 50ft. (or more) outdoor wire to the rabbit ear using an
alligator clip, would that give better reception?

No You will cause the front end to go non-linear and produce unwanted IMD
