When I was in Unk's Yacht Club I had to use the U.S. Gummint approved
phonetic alfalfa. And know both versions of it - the WW2/Korea's able,
baker, Charlie, dog - the the IPA's alpha, bravo, Charlie, delta. Some
of the long time sailors, with hash marks feom wrist to shouler insisted
pn able, baker.

Never got into ham radio beyond a bit of bootleggong. Did a lot of SWL,
though. Amazing the stuff you can hear,

My favourite form of ham is fresh (uncured), on bread with onions, 
tomatoes, and lettuce .....
