2. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

   The antenna is made of a narrow helix of wire like a spring, which functions as the needed inductor. The springy wire is flexible, making it less prone to damage than a stiff antenna. The spring antenna is further enclosed in a plastic or rubber-like covering to protect it. The technical name for this type of antenna is a normal-mode helix. [7]

   Inverted-L antenna with counterpoise, in a powerful amateur radio station, Colorado, 1920. The counterpoise is the lower grid of horizontal wires, suspended below the antenna. The largest use of counterpoises is in transmitters on the low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) bands, as they are very sensitive to ground resistance. [2]
