Spot wind 230 degrees "diagonal" 100

[wiggy]

230 squiggle 10?.....it'll never catch on ( what's the fancy word for a @?)

The 'at' sign?

What's wrong with '230 degrees 10 knots' ? When ever I hear it with 'diagonal' there is normally an American accent.

Now that this one seems close to having run it's course, where did "Charlie Charlie" in lieu of "Roger" come from? I'd always considered it as an Asian twist, but heard a BA crew using it only yesterday (admittedly to a Asian controller). Not like the Brits to screw up standard phraseologies.

'Charlie' or Charlie Charlie is, I believe very old HF speak, (or even morse speak) for 'Yes' or affirmative.
