Stainless steel is exceptionally lossy at RF.  There are
no specs on just how bad the loss is, so you take your
chances if you use it.  Copperweld would be a much
better "unbreakable" solution.  That's what its made
for.

Has anyone used SS wire rope for an antenna conductor in a wire antenna such as 
80-10 OCFD?  I use trees for supports and want to end the breaking problem due 
to wind swaying thew trees.
