ACP-131 [1] is the controlling publication for the listing of Q codes and Z codes. It is published and revised from time to time by the Combined Communications Electronics Board (CCEB) countries: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United Kingdom, and United States.
International Morse code is used on the air, but American Morse code was once used on the telegraph lines ("land lines"), so operators at the station had to learn both varieties until the landline telegraph was replaced by the teleprinter. In the beginning, all traffic was sent by Morse code ("CW") using hand-operated Morse keys.
Today it is the site of Marconi Park. It was an early radio transmitter facility built in 1913 and operated by the American Marconi. [44] After the partial failure of transatlantic telegraph cables, the facility was confiscated by the US Navy in January, 1918 to provide vital transatlantic communications during World War I. The New Brunswick ...
Landline and submarine telegraphers' telegraphs had adopted the convention of using the station code "CQ" to all stations along a telegraph line.As the first wireless operators were taken from the already trained landline telegraphers, the current practices carried forward and CQ had then been adopted in maritime radiotelegraphy as a "general call" to any ship or land station.
The first radio receivers used a coherer and sounding board, and were only able to receive continuous wave (CW) transmissions, encoded with Morse code (wireless telegraphy). Later transmission and reception of speech became possible, although Morse code transmission continued in use until the 1990s.
A telegraph key, clacker, tapper or morse key is a specialized electrical switch used by a trained operator to transmit text messages in Morse code in a telegraphy system. [1] Keys are used in all forms of electrical telegraph systems, including landline (also called wire) telegraphy and radio (also called wireless) telegraphy .

Telegraph Sounder. A telegraph sounder is an antique electromechanical device used as a receiver on electrical telegraph lines during the 19th century. It was invented by Alfred Vail after 1850 to replace the previous receiving device, the cumbersome Morse register [1] and was the first practical application of the electromagnet.
