#Bravo tt radio sound board code

The code word Quebec is pronounced as French 'keh-beck'. Papa is pronounced 'Pa-PAH' with the accent on the second syllable instead of the first. Oscar is pronounced 'oss-cah' and Victor as 'vik-tah' without the 'r', even by people who would normally pronounce it. Some of the 26 words have altered pronunciations: Charlie can be either 'char-lee' or 'shar-lee', and Uniform is either 'you-nee-form' or 'oo-nee-form', neither of which is the English pronunciation of the word.

The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.

Instead, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned code words acrophonically to the letters of the English alphabet so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language or the presence of transmission static. Although often called 'phonetic alphabets', spelling alphabets do not have any association with phonetic transcription systems, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. The NATO phonetic alphabet, more accurately known as the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet and also called the ICAO phonetic or ICAO spelling alphabet, as well as the ITU phonetic alphabet, is the most widely used spelling alphabet. Not to be confused with International Phonetic Alphabet.įAA radiotelephony alphabet and Morse code chart
