Not me but Wiki:

For radioamateurs the one wire is enough. The dipole is useless for them.

Hello old chap.

There is surely no point in posting quotations from Wiki if you do not
understand them.
The comment about dipoles being useless for amateurs is definitely
incorrect. The dipole is a very popular design of antenna for amateur radio
use.
