Only if it has a finite resistance ;)  
          Actually, it's coupled only loosely to all but the top turns so for 
the most part doesn't have a huge impact on the resonator as a 
whole although it must dissipate some energy as I have heard of 
some heating occurring in the topload of a CW coil.
