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. 73 Bruce-K1FZ
