Thanks Dick........it looks like a good site. It also shows that I have
quite a bit to learn about these things.

Hi,

Is there any kind of program that makes the calculations a bit easier? If
I knew how to do the calculations, I could throw the formula into a
spreadsheet. What I need to do is calculate the inductance with the
parameters of cross sectional area, length, position on the ferrite rod,
number of turns, and permeability of the ferrite material itself.
I would like to throw these parameters into the spreadsheet/program, and
let the software calculate the inductance for me.

Have a look here, see section 2 "Practical antenna design"
