Hope your sojourn here is fruitful for all of us.

In passing, much of what you see in late-night movies is incorrect.

Case in point: when using voice transmissions for messages,
"over" means "I am finished speaking and am awaiting your reply";
"out" means "I am finished speaking and am NOT awaiting a reply" (I'm hanging up, in other words, and if you continue transmitting you will be talking to yourself).

Screenwriters who were never radio operators invariably get that wrong.
