Ok, so I used the wrong name. What I meant was an antenna fed at the end
with open wire line, with one side of the feedline unconnected. Is it
called a zepp?


Yep, Zepps and Extended Zepps are unbalanced antennas. When you
add the word "double" to a Zepp or Extended Zepp, it becomes
a balanced dipole.

Zepp is an end-fed 1/2WL, Extended Zepp is an end-fed 5/8 WL.
Double Zepp is a center-fed 1WL. EDZ is a center fed 1.25WL.
