Art, note that the vertical monopoles used by MW broadcast stations
are ALL fractional-wavelength radiators, and probably 99% of them are
end fed.
I regard a radiator with a counterpoise as being center fed of a
given impedance to connect to regardles whether the counterpoise is
above ground or not. If a radiator is of a closed cuircuit form it may
be fed at any point in physical terms. Other peoples definitions may
vary. The poster I understood to be at the position of the end of a
transmission line with two wires in hand and wanted advice from that
point to procede. If his advisers are going to quibble then he needs
to go elsewhere for advise or settle for a poll.
