I can believe this. If you think of earth as also capacitance to the
wire, the optimum frequency would go much lower.
Using radial wire grounds instead of deep ground rods, become part of
the problem.
A BOG antenna is much less forgiving than an above ground Beverage,
but can be a very useful antenna
