How did the term "Roger Wilco, Over and Out" get started? Is this just a

term
from the old sci-fi and war "B" movies?


Wilco is an abbreviation for Will Comply.



Roger = all copied correctly
Over = your turn
Out = I'm going off the air (no longer listening)

So "over and out" is incorrect procedure as that means "your turn but I'm
not listening".
