It's "magnetic monopole antenna". A "monopole antenna" is a type of antenna. There are different type of monopole antenna. Two of the types are called "electric monopole antennas" and "magnetic monopole antennas". Here's a paper that looks at those two types [1].

This is quintessence of a typical discussion on the Internet. Context matters and it's expensive to gather appropriate context. Usually it's not as simple to explain as in this case.

"I don't have to read further because I know for a fact that <this bit> is bullshit". It's a fair heuristic. It's just that it is so difficult to have a deeper meaningful discussion without some trust established first (so that you know you're not wasting your time).

As a ham with an Extra class license I'm understanding that it was a type of antenna and am now regretting this commentary but for just a moment wondered if it was an April fools page published early.

I do have an interest in magnetic antennas (antennas in general) and also appreciate the paper listed by tzs. Thank you tzs!

Sorry for dropping the SNR in here :)
