[TowerTalk] Intermittent on Receive Only

One of my antennas has a problem on receive, where the strength of signals will abruptly drop for a second or less and then spontaneously return to normal.  However, when I transmit on the antenna, it never shows any indication of an intermittent connection, even at 1500 watts - the SWR is still 1.1:1.

Is this a well-known way in which a connector problem can manifest itself?
