20m inductor values

Has anyone worked out the inductor values for 20m.
I have a program somewhere but can't find it now that it's needed.
?
Thanks,

Use the calculator located here
Select your core type, plug in the frequency and any one other
value and it will spit out the inductance, turns, capacitance, etc.

If duplicating the G0UPL design you can use that calculator to
determine the impedance of his coils, then plug that back in
for 20 meters and get the L, C, turns, etc. info very quickly.

Guys,

This may save you some time. The beacon design uses the standard harmonic output filter designs used by the GQRP club documented here?. So a good starting point will be the one for 20 meters. You might find that the 2n7000 will not put out much output power at 20 Meters, but hey, this is QRSS and we dont need much output power :-)...

I hope to make a 20 meter version myself in the next week or so and will report back....

Please note people, that you may also need to reduce the value of the capacitors in the base/emitter of the Colpitts oscillator. They are 220pF in the 30m version. I think for 20m I think I would be tempted to start with a first guess of 150pF and see if that worked.
