Citizen Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 One that comes to mind not radio-related is TBH = To Be Honest Is there a radio related meaning for SMH? only one i've see is "Shaking My Head". I will add TBH to the list, thanks. I did not know what SMH meant, so I just stuck it under 'radio', but now I know so will move it to non-radio for my next update... WTMB (whenever that may be) : ) ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainehazmt Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 You beat me to it LOL. Now have to look and see if is a trademark... Hummm... "CCR" -> Ceedence Clearwater Revival.

mainehazmt Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Most of the acronyms back in the day (BITD). Were shortcuts for use with Morse code. Same as now in text messaging originally to cut down on data. It is kinda the same also as the 10 code use in emergency services. Now we are supposed to use plan language. I admit 30 years of emergency service 10 code hard to get away from. They will never get away from 10-4..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n4gix Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 It took me forever to finally figure out what TL;DR means! No 10-4 won't die out, nor will 10-100 for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
