I've heard, as a rule of thumb, that you can try cutting off one foot on
each end for each year the coax was exposed to the elements, and see if
you can get down to clean.

I have a length of 1 5/8” air dielectric Heliax. When I cut it to install a
connector, the outside surface of the inner conductor and both inside and outside surfaces of
the outer conductor are oxidized, stained or tarnished. So, is it usable or am I just
wasting my time working on it?
Thanks and 73 de Trent K5XM
