Robert has been mysteriously absent from the Sunday morning 80m callback in recent weeks but it turns out the reason was that he's had a hip replacement so he availed himself of my shack's comfy chair:
Thanks very much for your kindness Robert!

An earth stake for the shack
I seem to have problems with RF feedback in the shack when using any kind of end fed antennas. Dipoles do better for me. I'd commented on this a few times and today local amateur, Robert, VK2ZNZ very kindly arranged for a beautiful copper coated steel stake to be hammered in to the ground.

A Choke balun may also help. 73 Paul VK2APA

I'm afraid it will not help much against RFI. But for safety it's allright. If you're lucky the groundwire is exactly 1/4 wave long at the frequency were you got RFI, in that case problem solved. In general a good choke balun will help much more.
Good luck, 73 Bas
