what does '' 10-4 '' mean ? i didnt really care to read about CB stuff but read a lot of posts about people saying that.

[W5HTW]

A. It is the next logical step in house wiring from 10-2, and 10-3.

B. It means: QSL
(Yeah, QSL there, old man, you got a copy, QSL?)

C. It means someone who is still a CBer at heart and only wishes he could do ham radio.

[kc7jty]

Cops did/still do 10 codes too. CBers aren't the only dim bulbs

[W3MIV]

It was Broderick Crawford's favorite line in "Highway Patrol."

[NY7Q]

actually most police/ambulance, and other public agencies are going from 10 codes, which in reality, were hijacked by CBrs

10-4 (10 minus 4) is the average IQ of the Canadian Amateur.

you're yanking the dated chain now Al.

[N4AUD]

In Virginia, they've done away with "10 codes." Plain language now, though I hear some of the dispatchers and emergency people slip a 10 code in every so often. Old habits are hard to break.

Naw, it's fake ham. Made out of slow Canadian poochies.

[kd7msc]

What are they thinking? Trying to pass off a shrivled up piece of dried up ham as bacon. That is just wrong. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

10-4 ...an affirmative or a request for confirmation.
An exhaustive list of variations:

In the affirmative:

10-fer
fo-10
fowty-too
fo-rogee
10-rogee
rogee-dogee
hey-fo
hey-rogee
yeah-rogee
yeah-fo
roo-joooooe
foty-fo

As a question:

10-fer?
fo-10?
fowty-too?
fo-rogee?
10-rogee?
rogee-dogee?
hey-fo?
hey-rogee?
yeah-rogee?
yeah-fo?
roo-joooooe?
foty-fo?

Am I missing any? I tried to cover'em all, but maybe someone more knowledgeable can help us out.


Next lesson in CBonics, Leenyers.

OOOPS!!

edit: I almost forgot the all important "BIG 10-4" and all its variants. Add Big to any variety of 10-4, and you not only affirm the copy of the message, you confirm it BIG. After all, offering only a measly 10-4 leaves a measure of doubt in the other CBer's mind, so set him at ease with a BIG one.
