The antenna always has the counterpoise:

This is shown to be incorrect by simple observation.

"A counterpoise which consists of one or more wires in a network insulated
from the ground will often reduce loss resistances which might occur when
the quarterwave antenna is connected to poorly conducting earth. The
counterpoise in the case of a network of several wires acts as a condenser
plate with high capacity to earth, with the result of lower loss in the
antenna system; for this reason the counterpoise should be fairly close to
the ground. [See Fig. 1.] "

Again, you take a random quote out of context.

The quote is talking about end fed vertical antennas, and ONLY end fed
vertical antennas.

It is NOT true for OTHER types of antennas.

Joel dipole has the two legs.
One of them is the antenna and the second the counterpoise.

Nope, measurment of the voltages, currents, and fields show this to be
wrong.

The net flow of electrons is from the counterpoise to end of antenna.
S*

Nope, measurment shows this to be wrong.

You are an ineducable idiot.
