Yes, I have heard of a hat beingcalled a lid.
..
I searched on DuckDuckGo for the capitalized word LID and the results were
about Mason Jar lids
Then i searched for Radio LID and read sone results about Telegraphers in the
early days using the term for a novice telegrapher and also about a telegrapher
that was difficult to read when he was sending code ..

Whenreading about the term LID in hamradio publications I always have seen the
three letters inUpper Case.

I believe the results for my search for   radio LID tookmt to an article on
StackExchange. (I think).
