Call sign

From 7th Cavalry Regiment Wiki

In radio communications, a call sign is a unique designation for a transmitting station or individual. The use of call signs as unique identifiers dates to the landline railroad telegraph system. Because there was only one telegraph line linking all railroad stations, there needed to be a way to address each one when sending a telegram. In order to save time, two letter identifiers were adopted for this purpose.
