And you're not going to get "them" this way, either, as a couple of
response postings have already illustrated. There are so many
"standard" phonetic alphabets. None, for example, posted so far,
includes the FCC-encouraged "Nectar" for N that I learned as a
commercial radio operator ("Juliet-Kilo-Lima-Nectar-Oscar-Poppa...").

I think one could make a respectable hobby collecting these lists...
