Y'know, with all this discussion about different phonetic alphabets,
people confusing "Papa" with "Japan" and DX/contest folks using a
completely different set and being cornfuzed by anything else, it makes
me wonder.

Doesn't all this add up to 'phone modes being "slow", "limited" and
"error-prone"?

I wondered when someone would pop up with that comment. I think CW is
generally slower, though.

Wasn't aware they were still being used.

Go for it.

that

Don't the police and other services use the APCO phonetics?

How about calming down before you get too eager to "kill?"

[still off your meds?]

Kissed Two Eager Ogres...?!?!

[not getting enough?]

Or one reeeeeeeeally tacky one......Kinky two easy organsms...?!?!

Definitely not getting enough. Try a kumquat, not a "cumquat."

Why are you against the NATO phonetic alphabet?

Radio communications around the world have adopted the 1955
NATO phonetic alphabet.

The U.S. military adopted the NATO phonetic alphabet in 1955.
Not good enough for you? Tsk, tsk.

Either way, I was not the one who suggested the word.

Where did I say I was?

Radio communications around the world have adopted the 1955
NATO phonetic alphabet.

And now it's the ICAO alphabet. Says so in more places than I can count.

The U.S. military adopted the NATO phonetic alphabet in 1955.
Not good enough for you? Tsk, tsk.

You're offered this opportunity to attribute the post wherein I made such
a suggestion, Your Cowardliness.

Suggested which word? Kinky? Easy? Organsms? [sic]

True...you haven't acknowledged that NATO adopted anything
before the ICAO did... :-)

Radio communications around the world have adopted the 1955
NATO phonetic alphabet.

And now it's the ICAO alphabet. Says so in more places than I can
count.

Ten places? Twenty places? :-)

So, the NATO military now use the "ICAO phonetics?" :-)

The U.S. military adopted the NATO phonetic alphabet in 1955.

Tsk, tsk. On top of most curious sentence structures, you deny
the existance of anything but your imagination?

Tsk, tsk. You might acknowledge all if it had been the USMC
phonetic alphabet, I bet... :-)
