I would like to set up an attenuator like this one for my portable
shortwave using a random wire antenna:

But I also need static discharge capability to protect my receiver.
Here is one from the same site:

These both seem like straightforward, solid circuits. However, if
they're used together, wouldn't a static charge take the path of least
resistance which would be the attenuator out the center tap and
straight to the radio?
If I'm correct, is there an attenuator/static discharge circuit that
will work together?
Thanks!
