It is assuredly not used in Telex communications. "End Quote" is normal. I review a number of business Telex's in the course of my law practice, and have never seen "unquote" used in the way you suggest, though it might have been so used, back in the '30's, when you could have gotten a discount for the use of one word (UNQUOTE) in place of two (END QUOTE). Certainly, all government and military communications have always used END QUOTE. Sorry, but you're wrong, at least for present usage.
