[TowerTalk] 1-5/8 inch Andrew Hardline stored outside in New England for 5 years - still good?

[William Hein]

I have some 1-5/8 inch Andrew Hardline (LDF7-50A) which has been stored outside in New England for 5 years - is it still good and if not can it be rehabilitated?  I didn't expect to leave it outside this long (life intervenes in ones plans from time to time) and am pondering whether its worth the effort to ship it 2000 miles to Colorado and reinstall at my new station.

This particular cable would be direct buried for use on HF primarily (I have other cable for VHF).
