That's a common misconception, especially among those of us who have spent time working with center fed dipoles.
The "poles" refer to the voltage nodes, not the number of elements. A dipole, having a voltage node at each end, is a di(two)pole radiator, while a quarter wave antenna, having only one voltage node is a mono(single)pole. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Walter Underwood Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2017 2:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] EFHW A dipole has two elements. An end-fed half-wave is a monopole. One element. A half-wave antenna is still a half-wave, whether it is center fed (Hertz) or end fed (Marconi). wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
