Now I'll go back
to polishing my tuning coils.... Hi (you never know it may be a
great idea...)

If you have a period correct replica of a 1920s transmitter on display in your living room (doesn't everyone?), polishing the coils periodically IS a great idea. Also, handle them with cotton gloves, never your bare hands (unless you enjoy polishing coils). Hmm, it has been a while since I polished mine...

I suspect it is UV more than water which is the enemy of THHN outdoors, but I have never had any issues other than the thin outer clear coat peeling off as noted by others.
