Antonio,
	Yes I have used your programs with some success, the problem is not
what is in the loop, but the connections and components in the loop(s).

	If the inductor was purely two turns of copper this would be an easy
calculation. The problems arise when you have connected a set of transistors
& capacitors within the loop, each component and length of copper adds
another amount of stray inductance to the total, making the result difficult
to calculate. Hence the method working back from resonance, that will give a
value from an actual system.

problem..

	Cheers
