As for a 1/2 wave dipole in particular, unless the stainless is very
thin it is unlikely to make enough difference to notice without test
equipment.


Ok, that works for me. At some point when I've learned enough about NEC
for it to be fast to set up small tests on a whim or idea, but in my location
there might be so many buildings that reflections could hamper any attempt to
get results to match any simple model of any kind. In short, it it becomes
easier to do empirically than to model, I do that.
