Topband: choke/bleeder resistor on RXvertical?

[Chuck Dietz]

The choke bleeds off static charges that accumulate on the vertical. While
I have witnessed noise from huge static charging to a 32 foot vertical
mounted on the roof of the engineering building at Texas Tech in West
Texas, the choke does not bleed off “noise”. Noise is radio frequency
emissions from noise sources which can be local or distant.
