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.

APCO P-25

New digital modulation type, labelled as "APCO Project-25" P-25 pretty much is the same modulation that cell phones use. P-25 is supposed to give better voice quality, but there really is no differance. Plus I need to buy a new radio scanner now.

There are two types of P-25, 3,600 baud and 7,200 baud speeds.

Agent Orange

orginally classified as a "defoliant" but the US Government found out that it is better at killing VC soliders and giving Americans prostate cancer.

Between 1965 and 1970, the United States dropped more then 50,000 tons of Agent Orange on Vietnam.

unsexy

I would have to disagree with that statement, because there are plenty of sexy irish people out there, and I am one of them. Czechsmix has no idea what he is talking about sense irish (red) hair would be probably the sexist out there.
