Spelling words using the phonetic alphabet

Spelling words in voice radio communications serves to improve the intelligibility of the transmitted signs and other relevant information.

During radio communications, it is often necessary to spell callsigns, place names, surnames or other words (usually of foreign origin). This is especially true when the correspondents are poorly heard.

Spelling consists in replacing individual letters with colloquial, conventional words beginning with that letter. In international communications, the system used by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is used.

ICAO Phonetic Alphabet also known as NATO Phonetic Alphabet , also International Phonetic Alphabet - the most widespread spelling system for words in some specific applications, e.g. aviation for communication radio, amateur radio or other voice communication.

Originally part of the International Code of Signals (INTERCO), developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). In the 1950s, it was adopted by NATO, and then became the binding standard for many institutions, especially American ones, incl. International Telecommunications Union (ITU), International Maritime Organization (IMO), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Radio Relay League (ARRL).

The main advantage of this coding is its simplicity, unambiguity and resistance to interference. Since the syllable pattern of the individual code words is not repeated, even fragmentary transmission can be understood.
