    I think Continental code long predates wireless.  Cable 
may have inspired it but I think it was designed for plain 
wire transmission.
    I was out tonight and completely missed Night of Nights. 
I learned code partly from copying the commercials. I would 
have liked to hear KPH again even though its not really the 
same station.
    KPH BTW used the call CP for their press.  I saw it 
listed somewhere I can't find now as a general press call in 
place of CQ.  KPH is the only place I ever heard it used.
