Do you have to for the radio to work? No. However, it is generall a good idea to ground all station equipment using a common bus type ground system.

clcik that link and follow it to marconis set up.
in his pictures you will see how he did his station ground setup.
normaly you would run the last wire to the ground rod outside but he in in a basement gives you a good idea on how its done.
