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?

Quite correct.
It's good to see there are some that still know.

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

Sounds like something MWB or Steve might say to each other.

The same sort of movie knucklehead who will be anxiously listening to an
important radio message, and as it fades -- he grabs the tuning knob, and
starts twisting it around!!

LOL, I hadn't thought of it that way, but you are indeed correct!

Wilco is an abbreviation for Will Comply.

Yes... and I suspect that the reply in the negative would be, "F**k you,
over". Although I have heard it used on international circuits I haven't
found it listed in my ITU pubs.

Party-1: "Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot, Over..."
Party-2: "GOLF!!-Tango-Foxtrot, OUT!..."
Sounds like someone was in serious danger of going tango uniform.

When things go wrong in mixed company, it's either (code men) "Three dits, four
dits, two dits, DAHHH!" Or (phone men) "Sierra Hotel India TANGO!"
