Near as I can figure out, there was no standard call for commercial shipping at the time.

CQD was a military code term for Close Quarters Distress. That is what they used...

By the way, the call sign for the Marconi Wireless on RMS Titanic was:

MGY

By the way, that's the IATA code for Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport in Montgomery County, Ohio.
