[CW] Question about marine radiograms

[Richard Knoppow]

     Not to beat a dead horse but I found the reference to the 
call CP. This was used by KPH for press transmissions, I never 
heard it anywhere else. My source is "The Radio Manual" 4th 
edition, Sterling and Monroe 1950 (New York) D. Van Nostrand Co.
p.843  This is an excerpt from the International Communications 
Conference, 1947. Article 32: "Call to Several Stations Without 
Regard to Reply. The call CP followed by two or more call signs 
or by a code word (call to certain receiving stations without 
request for a reply) is used only for the transmission of 
information of any nature intended to be read or used by by the 
persons authorized."
     This may well predate the 1947 conference but I can't find 
text of the the earlier telecommunications conferences except for 
a couple of the very earliest ones.
     Mainly I had been curious where I got this and stumbled on 
it while looking something else up. Genuine trivia.
