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.

Hello Szczepan.
Your definition of a dipole is wrong. A dipole is not a "straight electrical
conductor measuring 1/2 wavelength ".

Yes, and there are TWO elements.

No, they do not, you babbling, ineducable idiot.

It is nonsense because radio amateurs do NOT call a monopole a dipole.

You are a babbling, ineducable idiot.

How many antennas have you built in your lifetime.

It is your misunderstanding that:

1. amateurs always connect coax directly to a dipole. they don't.
those that are in the know will use a balun.

2. the braid of the coax is "ground". this is not true. there will
be voltage at the braid of the coax at the antenna end when a balun
is not used.

In the past, many amateurs did connect coax directly to a dipole. The
reason is that - on most occasions - it worked perfectly well, and they
'got away with it'. It was only when problems occurred (interference to
TV, radio, Hi-Fi etc) that much thought was given to the need for a
balun.

In modern times, there is a lot more opportunity for amateurs to
interfere with - and suffer interference from - all kinds of domestic
equipment, and the use of a balun (or twin feeder) has more-or-less
become an absolute necessity.

2. the braid of the coax is "ground". this is not true. there will
be voltage at the braid of the coax at the antenna end when a balun
is not used.

Szczepan is obviously making the fundamental mistake of thinking that,
because the coax screen is grounded at the transmitter end (or at least
connected to the chassis of the transmitter), it is therefore at zero RF
potential - and that it is still at RF potential at the far (antenna)
end, where it is connected directly to the 'other' leg of the dipole.
This is wrong.

He is then assuming that if the coax screen is at zero RF potential
where it is connected to the other leg of the dipole, then the other leg
of the dipole is also at zero RF potential (and doesn't radiate). This
is wrong.

He is therefore concluding that as both the coax screen and the other
leg of the dipole are at zero RF potential, the only part of the antenna
system that is 'RF live' is the leg of the dipole which is connected to
the inner conductor of the coax - which is what happens with a monopole.
As a result, he is then claiming that a dipole is really only a
monopole. This is wrong.

However, I'm still convinced that Szczepan knows far more about radio
than he appears to, and is cunningly trying to get us to explain
phenomena which maybe we really don't know as much about as we like to
think we do!

I know that in the coax screen something is induced. But I am sure that

I am sure that the other leg radiate almost nothing.
In Hertz time all scientists investigate which part of the Hertz apparature
radiate.

I am only claiming that it works like the monopole.
In your literature is wrote that "monopole with the counterpoise works like
the dipole". But in your literature the dipole means the mechanical
symmetry.

However, I'm still convinced that Szczepan knows far more about radio than
he appears to, and is cunningly trying to get us to explain phenomena

Exactly.

But if I am right than the "counterpoise" leg of your dipole should be made
of the proper material and have the proper dimenssion not necesary the same
as the "live" leg.
So I start the new thread "Joels question".

The history of radio-amateur is so long that that issue is probably solved
long ago.

Connect it with coaxial transmission line, idiot.

radio, Hi-Fi etc) that much thought was given to the need for a balun.

Since a monopole with radials is an unbalanced load, there is no current
flow on the outside of the coax, idiot.

In modern times, there is a lot more opportunity for amateurs to interfere
with - and suffer interference from - all kinds of domestic equipment, and
the use of a balun (or twin feeder) has more-or-less become an absolute

Yes, it does, as does a balancing device and coax transmission line, idiot.

That is because you are an ignorant, ineducable, idiot.

You have been told and you actually referenced a web link that shows how
a balancing device is used between a coax transmission line and and balanced
load, but no matter how many times you are told this and how many links
you post that say this, you are totally incapable of understanding any of
it.

He is then assuming that if the coax screen is at zero RF potential where
it is connected to the other leg of the dipole, then the other leg of the

I am sure that the other leg radiate almost nothing.

That is because you are an ignorant, ineducable, idiot.

In Hertz time all scientists investigate which part of the Hertz apparature

In Hertz's time the instruments to measure the voltages, currents, and
fields didn't exist.

That is because you are an ignorant, ineducable, idiot.

What you quoted means the far field for a monopole with a counterpoise is
the same as the far field as a vertical dipole.

It does NOT mean the antenna voltages and currents are the same.

However, I'm still convinced that Szczepan knows far more about radio than
he appears to, and is cunningly trying to get us to explain phenomena
which maybe we really don't know as much about as we like to think we do!

Exactly.

You know NOTHING about radio.

You are a babbling, ignorant, ineducable, idiot.

How many transmitters have you run in your lifetime?

How many antennas have you built in your lifetime?

You are NOT right.

Dipoles do not have a counterpoise.

long ago.

The "issue" was solved long ago, you are totally wrong about EVERYTHING
you say, and amateur radio has NOTHING to do with the issue other than
you are posting in an amatuer radio group.

Post your nonsense in sci.physics.electromag and you will get exactly the
same response, you babbling idiot.
