A couple of 100 k ohm 2 watt resistors, (carbon) to earth will constantly 
bleed a balanced line.  They will not be affected by your RF power, as the 
value is so high in ohms.   Of course, their voltage rating is not for 
direct lightning hits, but you should ground by switch or relay when the rig 
is not in use.
