It is a matter of degree but I hardly say ¡°YOO¡±, for example, to you when I meet you on a certain day. hi
This is bcuz I¡¯m (a bit) younger than you and also ¡°YOO¡± usually need be followed with some additional expressions like ¡°HISASHIBUTI¡± (long time no see) in conversations, I suppose.
However, I feel that the OSAKA dialect ¡°MAIDO¡± can stand alone at the begging of conversation and any following topics can be adapted.
Hi JJ1FXF Hiro san We have more short expressions which are used between friends. These words are not dialect and are used everywhere in JA. Yaa/Yoo, Domo, Jaa/Mata. 77 Atsu JE1TRV
In this document you can find a bunch of CW abbreviations for kind greetings like HLV (hasta la vista = bye bye) etc. It starts at page 78 "Combined Radiotelegraph Abbreviations List".
But the document contains much much more info on CW-codes.
Truthfully, no, VK's don't use a lot of Strine on CW. What would be the point? Nobody understands us even when we speak English :-)
Yes, your example for ONYA would be well understood as the positive usage, as would HOOROO.
Except, perhaps by fake Aussies like me, but even we eventually achieve proficiency :-)
Hooroo

"Onya" is a bit problematic, as if said with rising inflection, it means "thanks", but if said with a negative inflection, it means "You have just made an inexcusable error, Drongo!"
