Jorge,
The loading coil should measure very low resistance, less than a couple
ohms.
I would replace the screws that hold the wire to the elements in the loading
coil with Stainless. Unfortunately, you must cut off the heatshrink on the
loading coils to get to the screws. In certain environments they corrode
and will cause intermittent connections. I have not checked, but Maybe
Cushcraft can supply the heatshrink. Before heating the new heatshrink, put
a 'small' layer of silicon glue between the element and the shrink at the
ends of the heatshrink as a moisture barrier.
