Yes, ofcourse! Was a bit fast in my thinking there...  So then the cure is
to add a choke across the RX antenna teminals!?

Vertical TX antennas are excellent when it comes to reradiating signals and
that goes for local static as well. Local static can build on just about any
metal objetc like roofs, fences.
Much can be gained be detuning the TX antenna when receiving, not merely
reduced noise but improved F/B ratio on any directional RX antenna system.
