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.

What's in a name? I too was confused for a long time. But one is a sub-set of the other. And my calculator does both.
The designation magnetic loop specifies a main-loop circumference necessarily smaller than 0.05 λ, according to some. And by no means larger than 0.1 λ, according to many. Only when thus configured does the antenna enjoy deep side nulls.
Larger sizes still work very well. Better, even, if it's radiation efficiency you value most. The self same antenna, when tuned for higher frequencies, gradually loses its side-nulls while gaining higher efficiency. And therein lies a critical difference. Down low it's a magloop; up high it's only a small loop. The same basic antenna structure, but with two very different behaviors.
And magloops came first, their deep nulls important for use in direction finding. You see them in movies about WW2: atop Nazi trucks roaming through streets in search of French resistance cells; mounted on bombers following a radio beacon aimed out of England toward Dresden Germany to direct night-time fire-bombing raids. There is history in the special distinction.
And so, after having twice now suffered (and rightly so) polite harrangues from others much better in-the-know, I bow to the nomenclature gurus, re-naming my program for what truely it is: a calculator for small loop antennas (among which over-category magnetic loops are a particularly venerable sub-set).
The distinction becomes immensely important as circumference approaches λ/4 and larger. Because now it is hardly even a small loop, but increasingly something closer to curled-up dipole with mutually coupled capacitance hats. And still it will resonate. The radiation pattern, however, will by now be growing a lobe. So that unless it's our goal to shine a warming radiation upon worms or birds, then our capacitor will best be mounted at either three or nine o'clock instead of the usual six or twelve.
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.
ky8d.net/free where I give download instructions. ZIP archive software (like 7-Zip) for extracting the *.exe file to somplace useful prior to trying to run it. 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.Fans of the CW reboot Walker were treated to a rare treat when Gracie’s mother, Genevieve, joined the cast as Emily Walker. While Gracie herself does not have an acting role, her mother’s return to the screen sparked renewed interest in the Padalecki family dynamic.
Jared Padalecki often speaks about the joys and challenges of fatherhood during press tours and convention panels. He has described Gracie as having a distinct personality from her older brothers, often noting that she keeps the entire household on its toes. In interviews, he has joked about the differences between raising boys and girls, noting that Gracie brings a different kind of energy to the family.
The explosion of the CelebJared Gracie search term highlights a growing fracture in combat sports. For purists, the Gracie name represents sacrifice, humility, and the "street fight" ethos. For the new generation, it represents a marketing machine. celebjared gracie
Jared Gracie inadvertently became the avatar for this debate for several reasons:
UFC President Dana White famously said, "There are two types of fighters: the ones who want to fight and the ones who want to be famous." CelebJared Gracie is the embodiment of the latter—someone who wears the rank but doesn't bleed for it. Fans of the CW reboot Walker were treated
Jared Padalecki has maintained a devoted fanbase for over two decades. Often referred to endearingly by fans simply as "Jared" or through celebrity news aggregators, his personal life is a frequent topic of discussion. Unlike some celebrities who shield their children entirely from the public eye, Padalecki and his wife, fellow actor Genevieve Padalecki (née Cortese), have chosen a middle path. They share glimpses of their family life on social media, offering fans a curated look at their three children without compromising their privacy entirely.
This approach has created a high level of interest in the couple's children: sons Thomas and Shepherd, and their youngest, daughter Gracie. He has described Gracie as having a distinct
Gracie was born in March 2017, making her the youngest of the Padalecki brood. While her full name is often listed simply as Odette in some public records, the family frequently refers to her as "Gracie," a name that has stuck in the fan community.
Being the daughter of two actors, Gracie has been in the spotlight since birth, albeit from a distance. She made an early "appearance" in the public consciousness when her parents announced her arrival with a sweet photo of her hand holding her father's finger on Instagram.

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).
