That will work fine, Paul.
I use a 1 meg ohm wire-wound 25 watter accross my 450 ohm line
from my high dipole.
For my 160 meter ground plane, I wound 2 RF chokes out of #20 wire on
3/4 inch PVC pipe (around 160 uh) that go from the vertical element and the
floating radials to ground. This does the same thing a a resistor, but is more
robust for the lightning hits.
ON4UN covers this in his new book.....
