Hammond Innes, who wrote the book that Tom linked, used radio quite a bit in his books. The Cain book had the dead radio operator holding the amateur callsign G2STO. However, the G2AAA-ZZZ series of callsigns never reached S as WW2 intervened and after the war the G3AAA sequence started.

Innes also wrote "Atlantic Fury" which is based around the Benbecula rocket range and St Kilda, IIRC. The amateur in that story holds the callsign GM3CMX, which would have been a real call, although I was never able to find out if it had been issued.
