You're most likely to blow out the radio by grounding it.

Horse****.

All the radio needs
is a counterpoise to its whip; the wall wart supplies that already,
capacitively.

There is some truth to this.

If you have a multimeter, measure the AC (not DC) voltage between
two ground stakes driven in say twenty feet apart. Usually it's
about a half a volt. The earth is alive out there.

That's why the NEC requires all grounds to be bonded togeter.
