[TowerTalk] 1/2 wave vertical vs 1/2 wave horizontal dipole

[Gary Schafer]

I think what he is trying to tell is that a half wave antenna that is fed in
the center is called a "dipole antenna" and a half wave antenna that is fed
from the end is not called a dipole antenna regardless if they perform the
same or not.
