--------------------------------- Dah-di-dah-di-dah-dah-di-dah? Seriously, once you go to non-CW modes, all bets are off. Obviously CQ was adopted by phone operators from its long use as a general call to any (or all) stations on CW and the letters used to identify it as a prosign were used on 'phone. Again, in language we adapt, adopt and modify to meet the needs of the day. The phone "CQ" is an excellent example.
