ICAO phraseology nominates "Break" to indicate a gap between transmissions. It used to (maybe still does?) nominate "Break, break" for the same meaning, but in busy traffic situations. The logic of this escapes me because it's an extra syllable! Anyway, I thought it had died out - in the UK at least - like that other odd little phrase "That is coco", for "that is correct".
