After taking a good look at the loading coil, its apparent that there
isn't much choice. The bottom of the coil is attached to the lower mast,
and a four pronged plate that the tap wire is attached to at the same
junction. So unless no tap is used, some portion will be shorted/
bypassed or the like.

So which would be better (less lossy) for a 75m Texas Bugcatcher coil
used on 40m? Short out each turn individually or use one jumper to
short out all of the turns that need to be bypassed?
