Why is this resister attached to both ends of the coil?

Not having a firm grasp of electronics, I do not understand why this resister is connected to both sides of the RX coil. I would think that it would be attached in line on just the black wire. Can anyone please explain this? I am preparing to wind my coil today. All of my supplies have arrives except for my shielding. Thanks

The Infinium is a PI design, and the resistor is for damping the effects of parasitic capacitance. The brown coil is the TX coil and probably has its own damping resistor on the electronics board.

Thank you Carl.
