Howdy Tower Talkers , My question is if water can get into the RG6 coax 
through the outer cover ? The RG6 I'm using is Commscope but it's not 
the flooded ! I lay the coax on the ground to a HI-Z Receive 4 SQ , so I 
can remove it in the spring and reinstall in the Fall . The RG6-F- 
connectors are 8 to 12 inches off the ground and taped good , so if 
water is getting in, it would have to come in through the insulation ... 
if that's possible ? I'm asking these questions because the HI-Z RX 4SQ 
uses a Bias T throu the 4 phasing lines and if water or moister gets in 
it will create noise and I have noise in 3 of the 4 directions ! 8.5 
inches of rain in 2 days is allot of water !

Thanks Ed N5DG
