Is the term 'helix building' used by any authoritiative sources? I've googled it, briefly, and most of the hits link to pages derived from this one. As a UK broadcast engineer, I never encountered the term either in practice or in the literature. We always called these things ATHs, or Antenna Tuning Huts.

Never heard it used in the U.S. either. (But we wouldn't call it a "hut" -- "doghouse" is the term I have heard and used most commonly.) I suspect this article can be added to the numerous broadcasting-related articles ignorantly mistranslated from the German. Perhaps this article should be put up for deletion? 121a0012 (talk) 19:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And indeed the article's history does suggest just such an origin. The original creator of the article, Zonk43, was responsible for creating many articles which were machine-translated from the German. 121a0012 (talk) 19:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've finally got round to fixing this. Harumphy (talk) 09:26, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
