http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna


"One side of the antenna feedline is attached to the lower end of the
monopole, and the other side is attached to the ground plane, which is
often the Earth.

This contrasts with a dipole antennawhich consists of two identical rod
conductors, with the signal from the transmitter applied between the two
halves of the antenna.

Any comments?

Hello Szczepan .
Dipole has two pieces of metal.
Monopole has one piece of metal.
Connecting a dipole to ground doesn't remove one piece of metal.

Best wishes, Ian.
