If not, than you heve the monopole. But it is nothing wrong if in your
community it is call "dipole".

Hello Szczepan. The monopole and dipole aerials are definitely two
different
aerials and it would be wrong to call a monopole a dipole.

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."

Dipole antenna: "A dipole antenna is a straight electrical conductor
measuring 1/2 wavelength from end to end and connected at the center to a
radio-frequency (RF) feed line. This antenna, also called a doublet, is one
of the simplest types of antenna, and constitutes the main RF radiating and
receiving element in various sophisticated types of antennas. The dipole is
inherently a balanced antenna, because it is bilaterally symmetrical.
Ideally, a dipole antenna is fed with a balanced, parallel-wire RF
transmission line"

The Hertz dipole was symmetrical.

The radio-amateurs use the name "dipole" for a monopole.
It is not wrong because they do not use the name monopole.
