Nope,  I have no dipoles that water can get into.  I do not know why so 
many of you are saying I might have water in my coax when I clearly 
stated that after a couple of hours after the rain stopped my SWR on 
that dipole array returned to its normal 1:1 ratio that I had tuned it 
to.  If I had water in the coax that swr would not have changed that 
quickly.


Have a great day.
