This voice-communication alternative to "where are you?" derives from the police 10-codes, no longer used in most jurisdictions but nearly-standard in the U.S. from the 1940's until federal agencies discouraged them in the 21st century. "10-20" meant "What's your location?" or "My location is..." depending on the context. Ten-codes peaked in public awareness in the 1970's when the hit song "Convoy" brought citizens-band use of "10-4" to a period of widespread recognition.
