The tiny spaces between the strands of coax shield braid will do this as well. This amplifier has oxidation and precipitated solids from rain water that seeped down the coax for some extended period of time.



Now and again a customer would report a mysterious tiny puddle of water on the desk where the antenna coax plugs into his wattmeter. I tell him the bad news is he probably needs new coax. And a better job of waterproofing the antenna end of the cable.
