Again, by definition "dipole" means two current or voltage poles; it
does not refer to the number of elements of the antenna.

You can't have two (di-) current or voltage poles in just a 1/4-wave
segment. Calling it such doesn't make it so. It takes a 1/2-wavelength
for two (di-) such poles to appear.

You must have replied to the wrong post. But out of curiousity, how
many current or voltage poles is a "J" as in J-pole.
