I think the 2 green book Comms Manuals - ACP's 139-40? ( help me Beags) cover what you need, but they are hard to find these days since they stopped Morse training.
They were, and probably still are, carried by Nimrod and swanning crews and contain all the Q and Z codes required for a brief conversation with your Op Auth
They are concise, brief and to the point!
However, if you are a fattish, medium metabolic rate Scottish pilot, who has had dinner 2 hours prior to a 3 hr SCT, and, at crew-in during his intercom check, says " Galley, Whas Ma Foud" the books may not be necessary.
Andy Mullen - where are you? - on landing, do you remember eating the GSU CFI's pie supper on the bus whilst he was compiling your report for the trip?
And do you remember phoning home from the "Scruffs Bar" to tell the wife you wanted another dinner as you had not eaten for 4 hours because you'd convinced her we don't have any rations on Nimrods?
Love B15
