The radio waves.
Do you agree with Jim: "Insulated antennas work just fine."?

"Just fine" may means enough.
But I am interesting in: "What is better: bare metal or insulated metal?"

Only if the insulation is infinitly lossy or infinitly thick.

even infinitely thick insulation allows radiation.

If the insulation is infinitely thick, there is no outside of the insulation
where radiation can occur.

But, yes, there will be radiation inside the insulation.

In regards to radiating RF energy, the only difference insulation makes
is the elements are slightly shorter due to the change in velocity factor.

Insulation makes an antenna heavier, can reduce corrosion, and can allow
you to have whatever color antenna you want.

So define "better".

If you mean work as an antenna, there is no difference.

You are a babbling idiot.
