Wilco is an American alternative rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup changed frequently during its first decade, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation.

Wilco-I acknowledged your transmission and will comply. Roger-I acknowledge your transmission.
WILCO is a Military term meaning WILl COoperate Negative, negative. "WILl COmply." Later dropped because use of "Roger" to indicate receipt of orders conclusively implied compliance.
=== === * In 1927 'Roger' was used to represent the 'R' in 'Received' and was used by the pilot to let the radio operator the pilot had received and understood the instructions. It was used primarily during WWII because not everyone understood English. In 1957 'Roger' was replaced by 'Romeo.' 'Roger Wilco' means 'I received your instructions and I will follow them. Wilco is also an abbreviation of "Will Comply".
It comes from the shorthand of early telegraphers. R meant Yes I understand and W meant I will comply with your instructions. In the military phonetic alphabet R was Roger and W was Wilco. R currently Romeo but the British used Roger in World War 2. R is a standard reply meaning 'Received' in Morse Code and flashing light communications. Haven't heard Wilco being used for a W. W is Whiskey or William or sometimes even Washington. Wilco is military short hand for "Will Comply." In the Navy, the only person authorized to use Wilco is the Commanding Officer of the unit the order was sent to.
