Damage done not by the storm!

RG8 Mini Coax damaged by rat

Every week Ireland is battered by heavy storm. My dipoles are hanging on the trees and dancing with the trees on the wind. On Monday discovered high SWR on my 30m dipole ..... I was thinking maybe wind did damage. Had a chance yesterday to have a look. Took my antenna down , everything looks fine ... if not the antenna then what ? Balun or coax. Coax is easier to check. 35 meters of RG8 mini .... Found it! Found damage done not my the storm! Done by RAT! ..... I don`t have spare coax at the moment. I had to use ADAPTOR - SO-239 DOUBLE BARREL to fix the damage.
