Can someone tell me, what is te purpose of the dipole if one of the poles is
grounded? I mean, why i built two poles when one goes directly to
ground!Shouldn't it be easier to build just a monopole? I'm puzzled....
Thanks in advance

Answer lies in the fact that any piece of wire, depending on its (electrical)
length in terms of wavelength is not anymore just "shorting" conductor. It is
an antenna, feedline or anything in between, definitely not just DC current
"grounding wire".
The other "pole" has the important function too, but that is another antenna
story.
