Stainless steel mig welding wire.
Any reason why this won't work as a wire antenna?
Very strong, fairly cheap, but doesn't like kinks.

It is small diameter, high resistivity material. If it is magnetic, even
worse.

I depends on its length, and the current flowing.

The article http://vk1od.net/antenna/conductors/loss.htm includes an
example of 316 SS MIG wire.

It is great for stealth antennas, actually doubly so, because not only is
it hard to see, it is hard to hear.
