I don't want to disparage the quality of the work... but field built cables (including those I've assembled) are always high on my list of suspects. The gradual loss of signal quality is a classic symptom of a cable filling with moisture. The matching transformer at the antenna is also on the list of suspects. If the 'test' cable had been in the weather, try a known good (new) cable.
If water has gotten into the coax, it needs to be replaced. Water will permanently alter the RF properties of the coax.
