Default Minimizing Common Mode Currents by Simple Grounding?

Well, the best interpretation is they are not DIPOLES at all. They
are half wave monopoles which definitely demand matching.

From the IEEE Dictionary:
"dipole antenna - any one of a class of antennas having
a radiation pattern approximating that of an elementary
electric dipole."

Is the reflector on a single-band Yagi a dipole?
