My question is: What can I conclude from this?

A 4:1 voltage balun will also solve the problem or
simply an RF choke across the dipole feedpoint. The
problem is static electricity common in dry climates,
building up between the two antenna conductors, and
can be caused by wind or snow. It is enough voltage
to cause arcing across the coax connector. (Hint: The
quad was invented to solve a Yagi melting problem.)
