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.

Since verticals are know to be "noisy" on receive, and a fix is a rf choke or bleeder resistor to ground, anyone try that on short verticals used for receive only to quiet some noise?
