True blue, английский
This phrase, now describing a loyal and faithful person, is sometimes said to have referred originally to the old rhyme, “jack tar steadfast and true; true to his uniform, and uniformly blue.” in fact, the term was originally coined by 17th-century scottish presbyterians, to distinguish themselves from the royalists’ red.
Tropospheric forward scatter, английский
A former communications system that beamed high-frequency signals against the troposphere (8–16 kms /5–10 miles above earth), picked up part of the reflected signal with sensitive receivers and beamed it onward in the same way. these systems became obsolete with the advent of microwave- satellite communications technology in the 1980s.
