[Moon-net] Damp cable help...

[Jordan]

I have a single section of LDF4.5-50 which appears to have gotten moisture 
into the connector at the top of the cable run.
We have had quite a few severe hailstorms here, and the sealcap was cracked 
and allowed the moisture in.

I've tried to remove the connector up there, with no success whatsoever....

Should I seal the top end with some dessicant packs and let the moisture be 
absorbed, connect the cable to my 12 battery charger , or bring the cable 
down and try tools on the ground.
The connectors were professionally installed by an Oilfield tower and supply 
Co., and I haven't found any online docs with a blow-up of the 
connectors....

This line is for my 1296 system, but for now I'll switch the antennas to the 
432 cable and continue testing..... 73...VE6ZT   Jordan.......
