My L6 lightning quad is mounted on a hazer with non conductive wheels. How critical is it to have a direct ground connection to the boom?

Boom grounding

My homebrew 3el Yagi is grounded to the boom. Used a Hairpin/Beta match making for an easy place to ground to the boom. From my reading grounding the boom should help with noise reduction and help to bleed-off static charges. Don't believe grounding is imperative to operation though for the typical Yagi.

The Lightning quad antennas using the "SFS" feed method connect the coax braid directly to the boom. The back-country Lightning clone on my tower is built that way.
