I've been having problems with my rotator, currently stuck due west.  Today, in order to verify connection from the controller in the shack, I cut open the jacket of the good quality 6 x #18 cable at the tower base - imagine my surprise when water flowed out of the cut, even though all the cable above that point is vertical.
