FWIW, I used to know a fellow who got his PhD in antennas working
under W8JK at Ohio State University. He worked on a very large HF
helix antenna that I believe was circularly polarized. It was basically
a cloud warmer pointed straight up. It was suspended from some really
large towers. This work was done in the 1950's or 1960's. I don't know
what the lower frequency limit of it was.
