Richard,

I've read many comments on grounding lately.  Sewer pipes, etc. 
I'm just a country boy.  We have septic tanks and drain fields. 
The septic tank is buried down about 2.0 ft to the lid, it is
made of concrete and is probably about 5 or 6 feet deep and the
same diameter.  It should be full and we agree the (liquid?)
should be a good conductor.  How about if I snake a heavy
ground wire into the tank and use this for a ground?  Will the
concrete tank prevent good coupling to the earth?

Just a thought.  It may actually be too far away to keep the RF
ground line short.
