"Loud and Clear". It is an old AM voice radio measure of amplitude and modulation, I believe.

Five by five is an old military communications designation, denoting I believe signal strength and transmission clarity, on a scale of 1 to 5. "Five by five" is loud and clear.

It's a radio communications term. Signal strength 5 and clarity 5, with 5 being the max.
