[TowerTalk] Can Someone ID This Large Coil?

[Pat Barthelow]

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...
