When using CB or two way radio, to end a line of conversation, or to acknowledge someone, we use the term "Roger" -Why?Why, in CB radio speak, do we use the term "roger" when we acknowledge something?

In the phonetic alphabet in use in the early days of radio, "r" was denoted by "roger", and the term has stuck.Why, in CB radio speak, do we use the term "roger" when we acknowledge something?
You can, of course, just use plain English. No need to be "radio Joe" and use all those terms. A simple "Yeah, uh-huh" will suffice.Why, in CB radio speak, do we use the term "roger" when we acknowledge something?
