Topband: choke/bleeder resistor on RXvertical?

[Gary - K7EK]

Question about the use of Ohmite bleeder resistors: What are the considerations relative to power rating in this application? Would  a 2w OX or OY ceramic resistor survive extended use of full legal amateur power limit on such modes as RTTY, FT8, JT65A, SSTV, and various other high duty cycle digital modes, and AM voice, etc? 

Best regards,

Gary, K7EK
