Question 1: Is installing a base loading coil worth the trouble for
receive-only purposes?

I doubt it. As long as you hear an increase in noise when
you connect the antenna to the radio, "no signals",
it's good enough.

I can clearly hear the noise level raise when I connect the antenna.

Question 2: Should I still use the balun?

I wouldn't bother if it's working ok as is.

Ok - thanks
