Seems to me, technically speaking, the two poles in
a "dipole" are electrical with opposite voltage polarities
at each end of the 1/2WL dipole. An electric monopole
has only one electrical pole, like a magnetic monopole
has only one magnetic pole.

A 1/2WL end-fed wire would then technically be a dipole
and the passive elements on a resonant Yagi would be
dipoles.

DIPOLE: If there is a polarity DIFFERENCE between the ends of a wire it
qualifies as a dipole [two poles ... two different charge levels ... two
different voltages ... etc.]

A RESONANT DIPOLE is a dipole with the voltages at the ends both equal in
magnitude and opposite in polarity.

Am I missing something?
