CM Helical antennas are not as efficient as
CM other forms of loading.

Considering that sometimes efficiency isn't quite as important, like
for example reception, are helical antennas less used simply because
the math is a little harder or not discussed enough? I recall seeing
this type being popularized during the old CB craze in the mid 70's.
