Since this topic has been recently discussed, I was wondering how well
EZNEC (ver. 4+ here) would model a wire antenna made with stainless
steel wire. The "Wire Loss" table in EZNEC allows a User Defined
Resistivity and Relative Permeability. Would the fact that SS wire is
usually comprised of a very large number of strands has any appreciable
effect on the loss? Assuming that EZNEC can do the modeling correctly,
what would be approximate values to use for the resistivity and relative
permeability? I did a quick measurement in a short piece of SS stranded
wire measured a DC resistance (with a 4 wire ohmmeter) of ~50 times that
of copper.

Thanks and 73,
