You probably got oxidation of the copper braid of your RG-213. I had the
same thing happen to a chunk of RG-8/X that appeared totally unweathered on
the outside, but in reality had sucked in a bit of water over the years.
If you must use braid-shielded coax for your antenna run, make sure the
braid is silver-plated.
