Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tick disease other than Lyme.

[Scott Brim]

You don't need the article. Just look up babesia / babesiosis. I had it two
summers ago along with Lyme when it was still rare here. It's a single
celled organism that attacks red blood cells and platelets, like malaria,
and is treated the same way as malaria, not Lyme or anaplasmosis (look that
up too). When I had it, no one I went to had heard of it until I got to Dr.
Macqueen, who had dealt with it in Maine. Now I'm sure the medical
community knows about it. Most people fight it off eventually, but it can
possibly kill and can definitely linger in your system. I want to praise
Dr. Macqueen and the Cayuga Center for Infectious diseases.

"Ground clutter" is common within 20 miles of a radar source.  Wikipedia
says:

"Clutter (also termed *ground clutter*) is a form of radar signal
contamination. It occurs when fixed objects close to the transmitter—such as
buildings, trees, or terrain (hills, ocean swells and waves)—obstruct a
radar beam and produce echoes. The echoes resulting from ground clutter may
be large in both areal size and intensity. The effects of ground clutter
fall off as range increases usually due to the curvature of the earth and
the tilt of the antenna above the horizon. Without special processing
techniques, targets can be lost in returns from terrain on land or waves at
sea."
