           Phonetic Alphabets (Alpha Bravo etc)

There is a widely known alphabet Alpha Bravo ... Yankee Zulu.
Such alphabets are variously known as phonetic alphabets,
radio alphabets and spelling alphabets. This collection
currently includes alphabets for the following languages:

     English, French, German, Dutch, Flemish, Italian,
     Rumantsch, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Swedish,
     Finnish, Russian and Chinese.

This posting supersedes the one of 25th April.

My thanks to the many contributors, not all of whom are
acknowledged below.

I can make no guarantee of accuracy of this information;
indeed please send me any corrections or additions.

In my capacity as the editor of this collection I have no
objection to the further electronic distribution of this
posting in full in circumstances where it is likely to be of
interest.

Comments in square brackets are my own.

We recently operated special event station OE1XRW/IMD and received about
three hundred letters for a direct QSL. About a third of them with neither
an IRC nor a greenstamp, About twenty letters with more than 1$ or more
than one IRC, the rest with either 1$ or 1 IRC. Air Mail from Austria to
the USA costs about 1,50$, to Japan about 2$. IRCs can be "cashed in" for
a stamp worth 60 Cents. We spent more than 200$ to deliver direct QSLs.
Are we "greedy" ?

   No, of course you are not.  Note that the original question was
   about mail from the US to Europe, not the other way around.  My
   point was that it costs a W manager 50c to mail a letter, so a
   dollar represents a significant profit to a US manager.

   What I and probably most managers do if someone sends a card with
   no $$, IRCs or stamps is to return a card via the bureau.  I am
   amazed that you received one-third of the requests with no $$/IRCs,
   I receive perhaps 2% without $$/IRCs.

   Managers in countries where the mail is so expensive can reduce
   their costs by bulk mailing letters to the US with 29c stamps on,
   and having a friendly W do the mailings.  Some European managers
   do this routinely.  For mailings to non-US, some managers mail all
   their cards from a neighboring country with lower postal rates.

Subject: Mobile Radio in Camry?
To: [e-mail]

Any ideas how/where to mount a mobile 2-meter radio in a 1994 Toyota
Camry?  Doesn't seem like there are any good places to mount a 2-meter
rig, with the center console as it is.  Unless that area directly
underneath the radio could be worked.

Thanks in advance.

believe the date has to do with informing the magazine stand when the issue

Sure, pull the diode you have and the set will run through its full
range.  The TS450 is the same.  I also have the mod page from some book
which mis-identifies this diode.  Pulled it just to see and away it
went.  I put the diode back in (I have no reason to be outside the ham
bands).

When I moved here to Singapore, I found out what the other holes are
for.  Our ham bands are not quite the same as those in Canada/US.  The
regulators in various countries take a dim view of ham gear that is
capable of operating outside the ham bands.

After a quick trip to the Kenwood dealer, he installed another diode
(sorry did not note which one of the empty spots he used) and *magic* -
the radio now only transmits on the bands authorised for this part of the
world.

Now, as a retired regulator, what is it you are going to do with that
radio once you get it to transmit out of band? . . . ;->

Send BT 20 times with a bug.

Send '.' 20 times with a bug.

(Substitute a keyer if you must, but don't use it 'squeeze/iambic' style).

Something I noticed yesterday, when I was wondering why my fist sounds
like hell compared to when I was 'into' CW (I *was* one of those whom
they asked 'you mean that's NOT a keyer?!?).

My Argonaut 509 had a piercing side-tone which was loud regardless
of receive volume, and quiet T/R gear.

My TR7's sidetone tends  to be just below the R/X volume, with
clattery T/R, if I adjust it so I at least hear the frequency
between words.

Ergo, I found my brain shutting off much of the time while sending,
and found that I WASN'T LISTENING TO WHAT I WAS SENDING! Oops. Can't
do that with a straight key.

As soon as I started listening to the music I was playing again, it
began once again to sound more like a reel than a Morris dance. So...
..obvious as it may sound... listen to what you're sending.
