To put it crudely, it is seldom that coil Q matters. Nearly always whatever

does then you are barking up the wrong tree.


Be that as it may, Reg, how satisfied are you that your program
accurately calculates Q in the inductors in which it predicts
characteristics? For example, it is accepted by all (I hope) that
Q(unloaded) is at a maxium when the length of a coil equals its
diameter. Your program doesn't seem to reflect this fact. How come?
