A monopole with one opposite radial is a dipole. :/


"A dipole is a symmetrical antenna, as it is composed of two symmetrical
ungrounded elements. Therefore it works best when fed by a balanced
transmission line, such as a ladder line." From:

The only difference between your monopole and your vertical antenna is
the

direction.

Do you agree?


No, because you are mislabeling a dog, and trying to compare
it to a cat.

In free space, the only difference between a vertical dipole,
and a horizontal dipole is direction.


Dipole has "two symmetrical ungrounded elements".
Your dipole has the one grounded:

A Dog and a cat are animals. But quite different.
The name "dipole" is like animals.
The dipole with grounded one leg is quite different from the "symmetrical
dipole".
Do you agree?
