Good design:

One inch silver pipe


Silver oxidizes when exposed to the elements, rendering it a poor
conductor in a very short time. Diameter is practically irrelevant at
the power levels we are discussing.

Bad design:

Small diameter Stainless steel whip


Stainless steel doesn't oxidize (hence the qualifier "stainless"); and
while it's conductivity is less than that of silver (and the same is
true for chromium), both the diameter and power levels render any
differences insignificant in practical use.

You can't make your point so you misrepresent. Like I said before.
You have never shown any reason for me to believe anything other
than you being dishonest.


I don't post test results that defy the laws of physics.


I have corrected your assumption.


You have corrected nothing -- your ideal design is impractical. A 1"
silver pipe? Yeah, that will work just dandy for a 102" mobile whip!
