Well, you must admit we could use something to jumpstart discussions on
this newsgroup.

Maybe SB can explain the difference between a monopole with a single
ungrounded radial, and a dipole.

Each radial, grounded or not (but connected to the shield of the coax), is
the ground.
The Earth, the Moon, a satelite and each piece of conductor is ground for
antennas. Radial is one of them.
Ground must be adequate to kW.

Monopole is not directional.
Dipole is directional.
