Hi Doc,
Looks like a relatively high uH coil, probably way in excess of needed
inductance for a 160 m project..
Looks like a capacitor across it, that I cannot read the value of, but could
be used as a resonating cap and along with a dip meter, or MFJ analyzer
could be used to determine the resonant freq, and back calculate the coil
inductance. Kinda thin wire, too, for use as a power coil around 160.
The bottom photo must have some sort of aliasing, kinda a moire pattern that
obscures the actual shape and number of turns...
