go for it - the added R may increase bandwidth a little

I want to make a 2m Yagi out of stainless steel, partly because of the
corrosion resistance but mostly because I have the materials on hand. Some
of my friends have tried to tell me that the higher ohmic resistance of SS
will make for a poor antenna. Frankly I do see that it would make any
significant difference. While SS has several times the resistance of AL I
figure we are just comparing micro ohms to milliohms.at worst, probably
more
like micro ohm to tens of micro ohms. I am a correct on these assumptions
or
should I listen to my friends.
