The last time that I built an antenna I used the formula to get the
appropriate length then I had to adjust it to obtain the optimal

Did "the formula" take into account any insulation, conductor resistivity,
conductor diameter, height above ground, characteristics of the ground,
and objects in the near field including supports?

If not, what is your point?
