     I am sure Radiomarine org would give it a good home but I am 
doubtful that radiograms were sent that way. My understanding is 
that radiograms were delivered via WU or Postal Telegraph or 
later telephone. Sometimes via mail.
    While this was general knowledge at the time its difficult to 
find authentic details now. However, beside the ship and shore 
station charges there was also a forwarding charge, which was the 
telegraph company charge from the coastal station to the 
destination.
