Thanks for the replies so far.
I did think about the capacitor connected earth (and still thinking about it).
"....regularoty-wise the RF earth should probably not be connected to the premises earth."
Yes, that is the case, but my thoughts were about some older gear that I might want to use that has both the mains earth and RF earth bonded to the chassis.
Newer class 2 (double insulated) gear obviously doesn't have that problem, but there's none of that newer stuff to be found in my shack (and recent lottery wins didn't even provide enough for a decent coffee
)
Maybe I should just run the lot off batteries and solar panels
