Amateur radio, sometimes referred to as ham radio, is a hobby in which FCC Licensed Operators, ("hams") use radio and televsion equipment to communicate with other "amateurs" for public service, recreation and self-training.
Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications when necessary. They also develop their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. Nearly 6 million people throughout the world are involved with amateur radio.
The term "amateur" reflects the principle that Amateur Radio and its skilled operators are committed to helping communities without financial compensation; whereas Commercial Radio operates purely for profit.

This phrase is intended to express surprise, disbelief and/or annoyance upon discovering said event, usually because changing radio stations was initiated in an effort to avoid listening to the song currently being aired.
A nerdier version of the slang deja tune, as it also references a glitch in the matrix, highlighting both the rarity of the event, the sense of deja vu when it occurs, and the strong feeling that someone, somewhere out there is fucking with you.
