Chrome has 55% the conductivity of copper

Steel (all types ) 3% - 15%

17-7 ph stainless steel is used for most stainless antennas

Its resistivity compared to the standard (copper) can be found here

Copper = 1.71 microohm-cm

17-7 ph = 83 microohm-cm

In other words stainless antenna stock has 2% the conductivity of
copper.


What type of material is the whip of the exterminator? SS right, the few
inches of copper or chrome material of that antenna will make little or
no difference what so ever, you guys are nit picking about something that
in this application is un noticeable.

Yes the whip is SS, but unlike your imagined explanation the antennas
others attributes must be making a difference. It does "make a
little difference". That was you quote by the way.

If it "makes a little difference" and does it at five feet instead of
nine then I would say it makes quit a difference.
