CC is also fabled to have originated from a double click of the transmitt button to mean "understood"

so Click - Click of the PTT was a simply an expeditious way of acknowledging receipt of transmission.

So CC has become charile-charlie once the phonetic alphabet came about.

I was taught this in private pilot training in communication with local towers and ground control at the smaller somewhat "uncontrolled fields"

here's the ww2 Military Phonetic Alphabet
