Hi Scott,

To check it, measure the resistance from ground to pipe. In an apartment 
there's just not a good RF Ground available. It's either copper piping, 
mains ground, or a counterpoise. None are ideal. Water pipe and mains 
ground both have a possibility of coming in contact with others in the 
apartment complex. A counterpoise does not and might be a safer solution 
from a human safety standpoint given the limited options.

Take care,
Bart
