Oudin coiil design- incompatible with current design programs?

Hi folks:

While I'm at it, I wanted to ask about Oudin coil design.  I have a small
Oudin "violet ray" coil that works and I have the specs on it, but for fun I
would like to wind a new secondary.  There are two Tesla coil design
programs I have tried to use to come up with the necessary values, but each
time I get errors or values that aren't correct.  Each program nearly
assumes a low frequency input, like the 60Hz neon transformer, but in this
Oudin design, there is a 3000 VAC input at just over 1 Mhz.  When I plug
these values in as well as the secondary info, I get either program errors
or 0 uF as the capacitor.  Are there any design programs that would allow me
to input the higher frequency values?

Thanks,
Jack
