Do you agree that such "dipole" is the monopole?

Absolutely not.

"Try to grasp that:

The Marconi antenna is vertical. It consists of an antenna and the
counterpoise. The counterpoise can be in form of the vertical wire. So such
monopole is vertical.


When you have a vertical 1/4 wavelength antenna with a vertical 1/4
wavelength "counterpoise" below it, you don't have a monopole, you
have a dipole.

The "dipole" antenna with the coax and without the balun is exactly like the
above set.
The only difference is that the second set is horizontal.


It can be horizontal or vertical or anywhere in between.

Too difficult?


Too difficult for you.
