We cut open one piece and found about 5 or 6 feet mostly white powder in the
middle.  

Is anyone else having problems with the longevity of the UF-type cables? I
just built an antenna that has a short run of it but it is run under a
square boom most of the way... out of direct sunlight and direct rain. It is
not in a rotor loop and will not be flexed (but needed the flexibility in
the original construction).
