I didn't know where to look this up, or who to ask,
or even what news group to post this under.
Since the information seems trivial, someone here must know.
When an officer calls in a license number (actually alpha numeric string),
words are substituted for letters to avoid phonetic ambiguities.
Thus, "OCZ345" is read "Ocean Charlie Zebra 3 4 5".
Can somebody tell me the actual 26 words used for the letters?
Thanks.
