Well I guess everything that is in print is not correct.  Looking at the 
article, referenced on that link, on ground resistance versus frequency
http://www.smeter.net/grounds/earthres-10.php
written by G4FGQ, he says the resistance of a ground radial goes down as 
frequency goes up.  Other things in that article seem suspect as well.

Here is a good article on the same subject and the conclusion is exactly 
the opposite.

Look at all the articles by N6LF on grounding.
