What range of MHz to expect from commonly available VVCs
My own (as in yet another) calculator for small-loop transmitting antennas functions differently from all others. Hopefully in a way you will find handy. Focus is chiefly on tuning capacitor. Because once you have either rolled, brazed, or soldered the main loop into a unit whole, there’s no easy way to change that. Also, the loop you can make however you want. Your choices of tuning capacitor, though, can be very limited. Especially if you’re wanting to use a VVC.
Thus I present for your kind consideration my own contestant in an already well-packed arena. Two things it does better than most. Firstly that, for running in a continuous loop, there is no tiresome Calculate button to continually re-click. Secondly is that I have the highest personal confidence in its predictions for loop L (μH) and Cs (pF). This because of employing ultra-modern algorithms recently authored by Robert (Bob) Weaver and David Knight, G3YNH.

Playing a high-speed racing game with on-screen touch controls can be difficult. For the best experience, connect a physical Bluetooth controller (like an Xbox Wireless Controller, PlayStation DualSense, or a mobile-specific grip like the Razer Kishi). Dolphin allows you to map the buttons instantly under the "Controller Settings" menu. Cheats and Widescreen Patches
Emulating the PlayStation 2 (PS2) version of Underground is a popular and effective route, offering a great balance of performance and visual fidelity.

You’ll need two things for it to run: my *.exe application itself, plus also the interpreter program on which it runs. Kind of like Java that way, except that the Java interpreter is probably pre-installed on your system. The LabVIEW run-time engine will not be.

*.ods spreadsheets.*.ods spreadsheets.Because I don’t know either BASIC or Python. And my skill in Perl is quite modest; not up to anything quite this complex. Especially not when it comes to the GUI. Even the math itself is largely beyond my poor understanding. Such are my faults. In LabVIEW however, I am fairly comfortable. Thirteen years now, I have put LabVIEW to use in regular support of my job as a test engineer. So I find myself well able to at the very least faithfully instantiate example equations authored by others. So I here tip my hat to the three maestros cited above (my Aussie bush hat to Owen Duffy).
