Carol,
Your comment reflects poorly upon yourself. Perhaps Don has gone beyond
learning the international phonetics that is used not only in amateur radio,
but by the US military as well as communicators the world over. Perhaps Don
has learned (or remembers) the American phonetics that preceded the
international phonetics, or perhaps Don is involved in Law Enforcement,
which seems to use that system rather than the international one.
I wouldn't mind learning that phonetic alphabet.
By the way, aren't standard phonetics only critical when the communications
link is poor, requiring an extra measure to ensure that meaning is
understood? So, in an E-mail, where copy is always 59+, what's the harm in
using different phonetics?
Or perhaps you'd rather use spark gap transmitters & nothing else is real
radio?
You missed the boat on this one, my friend. But tomorrow is another day and
I have seen some good posts from you, so today must not have been your day.
73, Mike, N2GEG

Don,
I think in the amateur radio world, that would be
November-Alpha-Six-Zulu.
