A 'technical' consideration - rather than a creating a path to 'ground'
for the antenna, it is better to create a DC path across each feedline.
Fred's suggestion works and works quite nicely.

Easiest way to do it externally is to solder a 50K or so resistor into
a PL-259, screw it onto one arm of a coax T, put the antenna on the
other arm and screw the T onto the radio. You can use an RF choke
instead of a resistor, however that can sometimes lead to parasitic
resonances.
