Definitions

Most hams were at least 30 something or older, back when you had to learn Morse code n' stuff. I heard my Dad, "W5UWS" (long deceased) use the term when I was a punk kid.Usage: "How's your XYL?," "over"

(Noun) Wife of an Amateur Radio operator. Abbreviation for ex-young lady. Used mainly in Morse code.
Usage: I wanted to buy that new radio, but the XYL said it was too expensive.
