You were totally unable to understand something as simple as:

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


"The quarter wavemonopole antenna is a single element antenna fed at one
end, that behaves as a dipole antenna."

Are you able to understand something as simple as the above?


To be precise, only end fed monopoles need a counterpoise.

The radials serve as the counterpoise.


The Author in Wiki describes the "dipole" used by radio-amateurs.
Such dipole is simply "The quarter wavemonopole antenna".
