Nope...does not compute. A loading coil of a sort might be a component on a
preamp board. But a preamp board is never a component on a loading coil.

If some version of a balun or loading coil is present it will be narrow
tuned and unsuited for use at other than the LORAN frequency.

And you know better. Don't play technical one up for the hell of it.

Nope..Almost certainly an active preamp. Not a loading coil. See Me
comment. Jim


Probably both....at 100Khz, Loran C's freq, a 1/4 wavelength whip is
2,460'
high....Probably wouldn't survive going under those big powerlines...(c;
