Topband: choke/bleeder resistor on RXvertical?

[Wes Stewart]

Noise is signal spread over a large bandwidth,  We tune our receivers to a 
frequency to copy signals in a relatively narrow bandwidth.  Nevertheless, there 
is some of that noise in that same bandwidth.  How does placing a resistor or 
choke to ground reduce the noise while not reducing the signal at the same time?
