Ed, I can't answer your question but can tell how to determine if there is
water in the coax. A digital meter usually as a 20 megohm setting. If there
is any water present, you will get a reading between the center conductor
and outer conductor.
You probably already knew this.
Every water intrusion issue encountered here has been associated with a
connector in spite of precautions taken to prevent it.

Howdy Tower Talkers , My question is if water can get into the RG6 coax
through the outer cover ? The RG6 I'm using is Commscope but it's not
the flooded ! I lay the coax on the ground to a HI-Z Receive 4 SQ , so I
can remove it in the spring and reinstall in the Fall . The RG6-F-
connectors are 8 to 12 inches off the ground and taped good , so if
water is getting in, it would have to come in through the insulation ...
if that's possible ? I'm asking these questions because the HI-Z RX 4SQ
uses a Bias T throu the 4 phasing lines and if water or moister gets in
it will create noise and I have noise in 3 of the 4 directions ! 8.5
inches of rain in 2 days is allot of water !
Thanks Ed N5DG
