I noticed but thought it was by design. My small ones you need to do that due to the limited working space in there.
I have never had a good wide scan with a resistor inserted in leu of wire. I add wire for 40 metres, tune it to the best swr by adding or removing turns off of the toroid, then tune the wire to the part of the band I want. Then check other bands (20,15,10) and add the compensating coil about 72"-74" from the transformer and tune the coil. It seems to work for me.
