Using "roger" instead of the word "okay" (common in several
languages, not quite as common as "hamburger") seems a sort of
tribal speak kind of exclusive jargon. The same with vocalized "73"
instead of saying just "best regards." Same number of syllables
and takes about the same time to pronounce. :-)
An old G3 chum of mine goes *nuts* if anyone uses these CW
abreviations on phone.
