I know that the earthing of the auto tune aerial is very important and there is an earth strap at the base of the aerial that has to be fixed to the body of the vehicle.

Is there a problem with running a heavy cable (12v X 150amps the same as used in dual battery set ups) from the earth strap to the - pole on the battery? The same battery that the HF radio unit runs off.

Advantage would be a good earth but would it have interference when using the HF or is there some other thing that might cause a problem?
