No, there is a major difference. Look carefully at Larry's #3 and #4.
There he allows for the added capacitance from the disks. Your
experiment did not. With your disk so close to the ground plane, I'm
not sure you could reposition the disk somehow and have the same
capacitance accurately. Larry's experiment with the antenna suspended
in midair is more accurate in that respect, IMO.
