"Is the graph impedance looking into 1/2 of the dipole?" I only quoted from the plot for tthe whole dipole in free-space. The graph on page 345 has two traces: Zo, or antenna average surge impedance, ZA, for a balanced, center-fed dipole in free-space, which is found to be a function of the antenna thickness= ZA = 276 log 1/P The other formula is also plotted. It is for a vertical rod against ground. It has exactly 1/2 the resistance of the dipole. For peripheries larger than 0.25 wavelength, Bailey notes that surge impedance departs from the formula. For smaller peripheries, the plots are almost straight lines on the scale used. Peripheries are plotted with log spacings. Impedances are plotted with linear spacings.
