You need to be careful about bringing an external earth into the house. There is an RSGB booklet about this, which basically says don't do it but if you must do it get it checked by a qualified electrician.
If all of your mains-powered equipment to which to intend to connect an 'RF earth' is connected to the supply mains via an isolation transformer, then that equipment has no connection to the supply earth. Therefore you can connect your 'RF earth' to that equipment.
Is there a flaw in that idea, somewhere?
