In this case, choking along the conductor might help (big *might* there).

Yes, and my app note on chokes and transformers for RX antennas addresses this. It's also good practice to add a choke well below the feedpoint of a high dipole so that it doesn't become a parasitic element to nearby antennas, especially verticals. I've long advocated that in the app notes on chokes, and did this for the first time with my own antennas soon after I moved here in 2006.
