Phonetic Alphabets
These are not phonetic alphabets as in those used to guide
pronounciation, rather they are a selection of alphabets used,
particularly by radio operators, to spell out words.
Brian Kelk has the most comprehensive list available and
many of the alphabets listed here come from his collection.
