Hi OM,

We can forgive the questions, but they are far from elementary. In
fact, there are so many variables to consider, that it often makes
such questions hard to answer without going into a considerable length
of constraints.

One simple response, however, is that for VHF/UHF, stainless steel is
hardly the most complex issue - this has already been noted here in
discussion. The remaining characteristics of length, size, and
distribution of elements has as many answers as answerers³.

To put it bluntly, you should put some effort into coming to terms
with modeling software to appreciate the variety of answers and their
ramifications. Getting this same education through single one-off
questions could take many, many years.

Another way is to simply pick a design, and build it. When you
discover what's good or bad about it, THEN discussion could more
easily respond to what you have and what you need to do. Experience
is the great leveler against "what-if." One notable aspect of this
past time is you are NOT going to do this once! So you may as well do
something and expect you will do some more (and more...).
