In one form, the body is molded in two identical half sections so as to be joined together into a unitary construction with the feed network and radiating elements being applied to the internal surface by a plating procedure. In another form, the molded body is a thick walled cylinder having at least one spiral passageway occupied by inserted wires constituting the radiating elements.
