It’s commonly used when you pick up a radio on a public band.
So if you have a jobsite where there are 100 radios, and someone needs to reach Ted, they’ll page the radio and say something like “Hey Ted, do you copy?” and Ted will respond with “Go for Ted,” which means yes, Ted is here and he’s listening, go ahead.
It was used in a small way some 40 years ago and never really caught on.

And what is Ted supposed to copy?
Signifying that he received a good copy of the message

Ooooh thank you! I’d always wondered about this too.
And, if you’ve reached Gopher Ted, you might respond with “Go for Gopher Ted”
