[CW] How message handling was done?

[Dr Jim Kennedy]

> Ships in geographical regions had specific shore stations that they communicated with. 
When a ship left a port it would notify its local shore station of such along with its destination. Along its voyage it would also indicate periodically its position.

> As the ship moved across the globe they would change the shore stations that they communicated with. They would then listen at specific times on specific frequencies as prescribed in a shore station document, maintained in the radio shack, supplied by the ship owner's operating company for that station's traffic list or to indicate that they had traffic for that shore station.

> In addition, other ships in the area might also act as a relay to a ship or shore station when atmospherics caused a lot of QRN.
> Hope this helps to answer the questions posted.
