Yes, it was also something for the final DC block from the 6146 plate
voltage to work against.

remember my Novice transmitter, the Heathkit DX-40. It had a
large-valued
RF choke from the back of the PL-259 to chassis. The sole purpose of
that
RF choke was to keep voltages from building up on the feedline - same as
the resistor in question.
Manly to prevent dangerous voltages on the feedline due to breakdown in the
plate capacitor leaking HT onto the feedline, essential on high power valve
PAs.
