Radio operator

The profession of radio operator has become largely obsolete with the automation of radio-based tasks in recent decades.

[1] Nevertheless, radio operators are still employed in maritime[2] and aviation fields.

[4][5] In the United States, the title of Certified Radio Operator is granted to those who pass a test issued by the Society of Broadcast Engineers.

The role of 'Wireless Operator' aboard aircraft during WWII was often abbreviated to 'WOp' or 'WOP' in official documents or obituaries.
