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.

The major American studios, all of which trace their origins back to Hollywood's Golden Age, remain the primary financial backers and distributors for the world's most recognizable IP.
: Following a 2025 merger, this legacy studio is home to the Mission: Impossible and Transformers franchises. In 2026, it is producing high-profile projects like a new Mortal Kombat II film and the live-action Masters of the Universe . Rising Mini-Majors & Innovative Studios
: The only major studio owned by a foreign conglomerate (Sony Group Corp), it remains a top player in action and comedy. Its 2026 "most ambitious line-up" features Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 2026), Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling (March 2026), and Jumanji 3 .
: Recently reaching a non-binding agreement to be acquired by Paramount Skydance , this studio currently holds a 21% market share. Its recent successes include A Minecraft Movie and the upcoming Dune: Part Three (December 2026).
: A global leader in box office revenue, Universal's strategy relies heavily on the "merchandisable" appeal of its Despicable Me/Minions and Jurassic World franchises. Notable 2026 projects include Minions & Monsters and How to Train Your Dragon 2 .
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.

Otherwise, Windows will issue dire warnings of an unrecognized app. Once extracted from out of its ZIP archive, however, Windows will know to pass it off to the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine instead.The major American studios, all of which trace their origins back to Hollywood's Golden Age, remain the primary financial backers and distributors for the world's most recognizable IP.

*.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).
