Roger Wilco is a phrase related to radio signalling.
Roger : (message) Received
Wilco: Will comply with message received.
Roger : (message) Received
Wilco: Will comply with message received.
It is a phrase heavily influenced by the movie industry and falls into the category of tautology & superfluous radio signals. Similar to Over and Out wherein you should not tell your signalman that it is their turn to talk and then hang up, Roger Wilco should never be used as to comply with a message you will first have to receive it.
Wilco, (radio call sign) standing by
is sufficient.
