Yes, but the emphasis was on small size, and a helical resonator
allows a goodly shrinkage of volume wihout a corresponding loss large of
Q.
As compared with what? A given coil in a helical resonator will
result in lower Qu than that same coil unshielded and simply resonated
with a good capacitor.
Not so. And others have pointed that out. If you take an unshielded
coil to it's ultimate configuration you are confronted with a resonant antenna
that is loaded by its radiation resistance and that results in a *lower* Q than
a properly shielded resonator.
