Hello once more.

No, its not. There may be cases in which this worked, but this is not 
advisable.
The green/yellow ground is not what me want. We need a RF-ground which 
translates
into big surface connectors with good dedicated ground connection.
A counterpoise in connection with the wallplug groundmay work but don't tell
anyone I advised you to do that.
Use a long piece of copper pipe and drive it into the ground in the garden, 
this will
give you an an halfway decent RF ground.
Some peolpe use water outlets for grounding. This might or might not work, 
better
do not use this if you are not sure where the pipe leads to...

hm, pretty unpredictable, but the unpleasant iccourances will probaly invilve
some arcing around....., or more realistic RF-caused demage to sensitive
equipment.

best regards and safe coiling
