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 .
If you lay coax on the ground, the critters *will* punch holes in the
jacket. You may not see the holes, but they will certainly be there
and water will get into the coax. Always use flooded cable or put
the cable inside some cheap "garden hose" to protect it.

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 !
