Ok. Thanks to all for the replies. I'll tune it in again tonight
(if I get woken up by another thunderstorm).

(good luck!) (If you're listening during thunderstorms I hope you have
an indoor antenna!)

I guess I'm used to the standard phonetic alphabet and his
use of other words threw me off a bit. That and I was
very much not all the way awake.

There's more than one standard phonetic alphabet. I know of at least
two and IIRC, the one pilots use is not the same one used by amateurs.

(but if you listen to amateurs long enough, you will hear some really
non-standard alphabets in use, not a good thing...)
