It's got nothing to do with grounding.

It's got to do with masking interference from
static buildup which can even travel across
plastic.

While listening to Uncle NOAA the other night, my radio started cutting
out,
intermittently. Reaching for the radio, as I touched the mike cord the
radio
worked fine. When I let go, static. then the next morning, it seemed to
work just fine. Someone suggested a bad ant. gound (?). What do you
think?

Isn't your mike cord insulated? If so, I wouldn't think that touching it
could affect the ground plane.
