[Elecraft] Best way to secure RF ground from 2nd floor?

HI all:

I am re-doing all my 20 year old connections here in the shack, which
is on the 2nd floor of my house.

Can anyone point me to a resource for the "best way" to ensure a
proper RF ground from the 2nd floor?  I have lots of holes in the
walls going outside (rotor cables, control lines, many coaxes, etc),
so going through the wall is not an issue.  If fact, maybe I can use
the shield of a coax to help with an earth ground?  I"m not looking
for "resonant" inside radials....I want a genuine RF ground.

Looking forward to your comments.

Since I suspect this may a topic of wider interest, I'll ask you post
your comments here (or you can always post to me directly if you
disagree with "filling up the reflector").

Thanks so much!
