"Charlie Charlie" is often heard when flying through Africa or places utilising HF radio and where English is not the native tongue

The term originates from marine code flags, with "C" being "yes" "affirmative"or the significance of the previous code group should be read in the positive".

It is not standard RT but is used and seems to be understood.
