So coax is part of the antenna. On RX and TX.Vertical. No choke. No balun. Good match. Bad noise
It is possible, that antenna is not picking the noise, but coax is.
Another thing is proximity of the antenna to metallic objects, the way the coax goes and so on.

The broadband common mode choke, 1:1 balun and 1:1 unun - PA9X
Choosing a common mode choke. A look at different variants, air core, ferrite beads and ferrite toroid core for ham radio HF band.
MikeThe common mode choke lowered the noise floor with 12-15 dB, equal to 2-2.5 S-points.
