repeat

we never say repeat over the radio because it is a French military code word for "fire artillary"

Wait. The French don't have radios yet.

Nevermind.

PRC-77

the PRC doesn't stand for anything.

the PRC-77 (and the improved PRC-770) are military VHF FM transcievers, that have been used sence 1960, and are slowly being phased out because the US Army likes them.

Frequency Coverage:
30.0000 to 76.0000 MHz
channel spacing:
50 kHz
channels:
920
Power Output:
5 watts
Range:
10 miles on a bad day
5 miles when the VC are shooting at you
30 miles when you get back to base

PRC-77s are used as manpack radios (straped to the back of GIs and used for unit-to-unit communications), if you've ever seen the movie "Platoon", the PRC-77 is the radio that all the Americans are carrying on thier backs.
or they are installed as radios in Humvees and tanks. (i.e. all the antennas on military viecles are connected to PRC-77s.

widly copied by every NATO member, so all the good guys can talk to each other.

"Roger, get the PRC-77 on 41.75 and call HQ"

radar mile

The time required for a radar pulse to travel 1 mile (~1.6 km) to an object, i.e., to a target; reflect; and return to the receiver. Note: A radar statute mile is approximately 10.8 ms (microseconds); a radar nautical mile is approximately 12.4 s. The time for any other radar unit distance is readily determined, such as the radar meter or the radar kilometer. NTIA

I listen to propagation mapping radar on the 27 MHz freeband.

blue chip

A high-quality, relatively low-risk investment; the term usually refers to stocks of large, well-established companies that have performed well over a long period.

I just put $500 on some good GE blue chip stock.

cuban number station

It is not known exactly what they are there, but its pretty much transmitted enigma in CW mode and then a bunch of numbers (in Spanish) in AM mode. It sounds like a female computer voice.

Cuban number stations can be monitored all across North America.
