I guess. However, for the best reference on Antennas and esp. Helical Antennas
you should read the Antenna Bible;
Antennas
John D. Kraus
2nd Ed.
McGraw-Hill
ISBN: 0-07-100482-3
Dr. Kraus was the inventor of the Helical Antenna. I don't know much
about this subject since I am just starting out here. However, I guess a
bible is a bible?

Will,
I like Kraus' book too. But he doesn't cover the Normal Mode Helix
in much detail since it is not very useful as a radiator. He spends more
time on the axial mode where the helix is driven at much higher frequencies
. Also, I don't think you can rightly credit Kraus with the invention of
the helical antenna. He certainly reseearched it extensively, but I think
Wheeler of inductance formula fame worked with helical antennas before
Kraus. There are probably others too.
