The May issue of QST has an article of a rather interesting concept... 
use a lightbulb instead of a stinger as the final element of an antenna.

I looked up the link and followed the rabbit trails to find some good 
web pages.

It turns out that tungsten is a better conductor of RF than stainless 
steel.

a fun read at the least..... maybe a project to be done??

look over the links below
