I certainly have up here Guy. A few winters back I chased this type of 
failure for days before I eventually discovered the problem to be corrosion. 
Now I solder all my outside connections.

Pat: I use a propane torch to solder my joints. In September or October when 
I check all my antennas it's usually very dry up here and as yet I haven't 
started any fires. Mind you I am very careful to make sure I don't!
