Subject: Re: Topband: choke/bleeder resistor on RXvertical?
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?
