BINGO! Does the right angle adapter have Amphenol or a MIL-spec part number stamped into it? If it doesn't, it's very likely to be JUNK. In Amphenol or MIL-spec connectors, the center conductor is robust; in those junk connectors, it's a tiny spring.

With that connector out of circuit the oscillations did not occur. I reinstalled the 
adapter and the problem returns. I can not get the problem to resurface by manhandling 
the cables or connectors.

So possibly the adapter is the ingress point,
