in the picture you can clearly see one antenna element is made up from multiple wires in close proximity compared to the wavelength.
Would a wire work differently if each of the strands would be isolated from each other (actually yes rf wire litze dose this to reduce skin effect)
But it will work fine or even better as antenna element.
I don't believe you at allThis was my education on antenae
It has 2 poles. (2 elements)each of the poles (elements) can be made up from 1 to infinite conductor.dipole antenae is one wire now, earlier it was 4 wires.
