Will these wires have much of an effect?


Many years ago, one of the 75m CA shootout hams did this very thing
and it worked well.


Good to hear. I've been really happy with the performance of the
antenna, but 80 meters was like a step aerobics class. Contesting just
has too many frequency changes.

If it's good enough for an antenna tuner (MFJ-949E) then it should be
good enough for a loading coil. After all, the same amount of power is
involved.
