Possible the controversy is in your mind Charlie.

The velocity factor using wires buried under ground is a fraction of
the velocity factor in air or free space. Hence if you are hell bent
on having resonance in your buried radial system (which in this
application does nothing to improve system efficiency) they need be a
whole lot shorter than the length = 234/F that is used for elevated
radial systems.
