Ted,

The first frequency is calculated without the topload or terminal 
capacitor/toroid/etc.  It is sometimes interesting to know if you have enough 
turns in the primary to run the coil in tune without the topload.

 I have used wintesla to generate many of the numbers I need for my first
 coil. In fact, I used it to confirm the math I did the long way (haven't
 used scientific notation in awhile). But I noticed something I can't quite
 figure out and perhaps someone would enlighten me.
 
 On the Secondary TAB, right column, there are two boxes for "Frequency"
 
 In the case of my coil, the first box says 304.48 KHz. Then two boxes below
 that frequency is 163.75 KHz.
 On the Primary TAB, this 163.75 frequency is indicated as the 'secondary
 frequency.' And that agrees with my paper calculations.
 
 So,  what is the 304.48 figure?
