I haven't been able to get to the offending section of coax but it appears 
water entered the F-connector at the antenna and flowed to the lowest 
section of coax near the house. This coax really looks like a pipe to any 
moisture at the antenna that isn't properly sealed out. The coax route 
begins at a hole through the foundation and is buried inside a garden hose 
for about 12ft under-ground where it enters the woods.
