The one you used below is a variation on it. If it gives correc 
answers, why change.

I simply said that if you pick some frequency, calculate its quarter 
wavelength then wind a coil using this length of wire, it will 
resonate at a higher frequency than the wirelength suggests.. Adding a 
topload can bring the frequency down to your chosen frequency (and 
lower if you wish). I haven't seen any point in doing it to make the 
wirelength match some particular frequency.
