Default Is this a loading coil?

Hi, I was looking up antennas on google, and found a radio shop's
antenna page. These antennas have some kind of coil welded onto them.
Are these what you would call loading coils? And by the picture I can't
tell if the coil is at the bottom, middle or top of the antenna. Any
guesses?
