Where did the name "Rubber Duck" come from

Need some help...

I am attended a wireless internet class this week. The teacher wondered
where the name rubber duck came from.

I don't quite know where the term originated, but I can tell you
what it refers to. It's a slang term for the helical, rubber-covered,
flexible antennas used on many VHF and UHF portable radios.
