[Moon] how comes water in cable?

[peter blair]

 Wolfgang,  If you have got it all wrapped up in self amalgamating tape already then look to see if, when the mast rotates, the cable sheath was cut by a sharp edge on something. I had this problem last year, a very small cut will suck in a lot of water.

  Dear OM, 

  after long time I fixed my 70cm station (not EME!). 

  I am using 2-line cable technique and found out both cables were FULL of WATER. 
  ABout 2 litres......


  I am using AIRCOM PLUS CABLE.......

  I wonder how so much water may get into the cable. 

  It seems water did not come through connector (N-Type). 

  Any idea? Capillar effect?
