4.2 The phonetic alphabet

Now you might be thinking - what kind of wheel of

fortune talk is this with those letters?

That is what is called "the phonetic alphabet".

You have to learn the phonetic alphabet by heart.

Practice makes perfect - practice, for example, when

you are driving, by entertaining your fellow passengers by saying: "We have a

SIERRA KILO OSKAR DELTA ALFA" (a Skoda).

Below you can see the Phonetic Alphabet

As you may have noticed on the previous page, we made a call to Herning Radio,

introducing ourselves as OY-CTZ (OSKAR YANKEE CHARLIE TANGO ZULU).

When Herning Radio answered back, he called us O-TZ (OSKAR TANGO ZULU),

He did this because it is allowed to answer the call with an abbreviation.
