Yes.  Good idea.

Put a little balun in a Twinax connector, thread the cable bushing for  
a BNC chassis mount connector, and you have a fine adapter that will  
give you a bit more signal strength than just grounding one side of  
the input transformer.

I have estimated that if you make these with commonly available parts,  
and sell them to folks on the list, you would make approximately 65  
cents an hour for your work.

But it would be the right thing to do.
