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.

It utilized a mix of practical effects and early 2000s digital compositing, giving it a distinct "B-movie" aesthetic that has since become a nostalgic hallmark of the time.
The 2003 entertainment landscape was a melting pot of big-budget epics and experimental cult classics. Space Nuts fits perfectly into the latter, serving as a reminder that even in the vastness of the universe, there’s always room for a little bit of nonsense.
Much like South Park or Team America , it relied on pushing boundaries and using absurdity to land jokes.
It mirrored the public's fascination with space exploration while mocking the seriousness of the sci-fi genre. Space in the Popular Imagination
Today, we see the influence of these early-2000s experiments in shows like Rick and Morty or The Orville . They proved that there was a massive market for "Sci-Fi Comedy"—a genre that balances the technical jargon of space travel with the messy reality of human (or alien) stupidity.
While Space Nuts might not be a household name like Star Wars , it remains a vital piece of the 2003 media puzzle. It represents a time when creators were just starting to realize that the internet and DVD markets meant you didn't need a billion-dollar budget to tell a story set in the stars—you just needed a green screen and a weird sense of humor.
Why did space-themed comedy resonate so well in 2003? At the time, NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover mission was capturing headlines. Space was back in the news, but the "space race" tension of the 60s was gone, replaced by a sense of wonder mixed with skepticism.
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.It utilized a mix of practical effects and early 2000s digital compositing, giving it a distinct "B-movie" aesthetic that has since become a nostalgic hallmark of the time.

*.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).
