Topband: Beverage antennas and Ticks

[Bruce]

Bet there are many tick stories in the DX group.
I was on active duty at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in 1957 and while I was shaving 
in the BOQ latrine one of the guys noticed a tick on my back. They burned it 
out with a cigarette.  Had to go to early sick bay many days after, 
receiving many penicillin shots, but never missed duty.   Used to operate 
K5USA in the evenings on CW except  10 meters  as it  bothered the base 
commanders TV.
Bottom line-Ticks are really "bad news." They can screw your life right off 
track.

 list goes on...  Terry K4RX

 Ticks carry many things, some that doctors are not familiar with.
