I had some good quality RG-213/U lying on the ground for about 25 years.
It was moved and flexed quite often. Its loss measures about the same as
new coax. However, western Oregon has a very gentle climate compared to
most places. Your experience might be quite different if you live in
Phoenix or Minnesota, or areas with comparable climates elsewhere in the
world.

I would bet Minnesota is even better as long as you keep the water out
during the rainy seasons. We spend more time under 32F, which means
dry, and have less ultraviolet to degrade the jacket.
Of course Phoenix is ideal, except for the UV.
