[Milsurplus] WW2 Navy Communication Procedure Signals booklet

[howard holden]

Boy Nick, have those Z signals changed over the years! I recognized at least two dozen which I know have changed meanings. Also it looks like the page with ZB...prosigs is missing. 

Interesting also, the instructions mentioned not mixing Z sigs with plain text, but didn't mention mixing Z and Q sigs, which was verboten in my days as a CW op (1967-1970). Never understood why, Z sigs were not classified.

Neat reading. Thanks Nick.

  I have posted a 2.3 MB pdf download of US Navy "Communication
  Procedure Signals" at
  http://www.navy-radio.com/manuals/comm_proc_sig.pdf<http://www.navy-radio.com/manuals/comm_proc_sig.pdf>
  This is a small flip-chart type booklet containing a list of Z signals
  (AKA prosigs - not prosigns or prosines).
  Published around 1939, superseding Naval Radio Operators' Signals No. 1.
  If you have any USN radio procedure publications, please let me know -
  I'm always looking for more stuff to add to the web site.
  cheers,
