Interesting.  Mine is stuck due East.  Wonder if I should cut my coax open?

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.
