TV radio jargon also has it as "six two and even, over and out" (Dick
Tracy maybe?)

The made up "radio jargon" which bothers me the most is "over and
out". Which do you mean: over or out? They mean very different
things and CANNOT be used simultaneously. However, few TV writers
have any experience at comms.

I eight years as a flier in the Air Force during the Vietnam era and
15 years as private, instrument rated pilot I do not recall ever
hearing Copy That on the radio. We were trained to use Niner for
Nine because it was easier to be sure what you heard in a series of
numbers. It is really important whether you meant Niner thousand or
Five thousand feet. The only time I recall hearing Copy That was in
the inane commercial where two actors were conversing with a series
of Copy Thats. I have heard things like Copy Niner Thousand. To
repeat a controllers instruction when it is very important to get it
correctly.
