Rain in Phoenix made my antenna connector seize up

Was swapping a VOR antenna on a Cessna 172 last Tuesday and the connector wouldnt budge, turns out moisture got in and corroded the threads, I had to hit it with contact cleaner and a wrench for 20 minutes, has anyone else dealt with that kind of crusty buildup in dry climates?

Thought dry heat meant no corrosion, but Phoenix humidity surprised me too.
