spelling alphabet

Not to be confused with "phonetic alphabet", this kind of alphabet is a set of words used to represent the letters of an alphabet in oral communication, especially over a two-way radio or telephone. The words chosen, i.e. Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, etc., are meant to represent the letters sound sufficiently different from each other to clearly differentiate them.

Whenever I’m on the radio with my team, I always use the spelling alphabet to avoid confusion—like saying 'Alfa, Bravo, Charlie' instead of just letters.
