Its a very exclusive personal calling network and if you dont know what it is:
1. You don't need it
2. You aren't exclusive enough to be invited to join and
3. They probably wouldn't let you in.
Ask GC1...he might know somebody who knows somebody who........

It is the numerical code you would insert into your terminal unit when calling a particular ship in telex mode using ARQ on SSB.
You will only need it if fitting SSB and ARQ telex (Sitor) however there are hardly any shore stations equiped to call you LOL
Using this code and equipment establishes a link between the two stations for passing telex messages/e-mail.

When I was flying for a living, SELCALL was fitted to the HF radio. It's purpose was alert you that someone wanted to talk to you. The transmitting station would sent a series of tones that would activate the unit and set an alarm off.
It saved having to listen endlessly to the background rubbish on HF radios. You only had to listen in when the alarm went off and ask who was calling you.
Of course, you had to be tuned into the relevant frequency. From memory, SELCALL had a 4 or 5 letter.
HF was used for worldwide communication with the company (BOAC which later became BA) as well as air traffic control when flying over large areas where no local VHF station was located, such as oceans, deserts, the middle and far east, australia, etc, etc.
