You've probably heard some of these in the movies (particularly in the 70's - remember the movies "Smokey and the Bandit," and "Convoy"?), or even in real life ie: Ten - Four (10 - 4) means "acknowledgement/OK" as in "I hear and understood that."
In a survival situation, it could happen that you'll need to know some of this stuff in order to understand communications around you or in order to communicate and convey messages, yourself.
There's nothing pretty about this list, so I'm just going to copy and paste it... it's around on various websites, blogs, etc., and is public domain information.

Growing up, I had a dad who was a trucker, so common codes I heard when I rode with him were: 10-4 (OK), 10-20 (location), 10-22 (disregard), 10-74 (negative), and 10-66 (message cancellation). Not many from the list, overall, but a few that stick from way back when.
This list was created sometime around the late 1930's, improved upon in the mid-70's, and has pretty much been a standard list in use since the 70's.
