John, Your idea sounds great for an RF ground system for your radios, however, it will now leave you radios as a ground path from the house, power lines, phone etc., to the great new ground. Be sure to disconnect all equipment from the ground and antennas when not is use.
Go to: http://www.polyphaser.com/ppc_PEN1016.asp Read their "tech information", "engineering notes", especially on single point grounding and ham radio grounding.
