A device is provided for use in a helical antenna having an antenna element wound about the periphery of a dielectric support post, the post being in the form of a tube or cylinder. The device has an electrically conductive member electrically connected to one end of said antenna element. The conductive member is of any appropriate shape or configuration and is operable to increase the loading on the antenna whereby standing waves on the antenna element are reduced and a more uniform electrical current is produced along the antenna element.
