I think Frank misspoke and meant this calculator was oversimplied:

Types of Coax Cable and Line Loss Calculator -

Here's a quick line loss calculator to use Note that the simple program used
for this web page gives a very close approximation for additional losses due to
SWR.

Whoa. I said no such thing. The AC6LA calculator is definitely not simplified
and/or inaccurate.
