The phonetic alphabet (as it is known) is as follows:


A = Alpha		N = November
B = Bravo		O = Oscar
C = Charlie		P = Papa
D = Delta		Q = Quebec
E = Echo		R = Romeo
F = Foxtrot		S = Sierra
G = Golf		T = Tango
H = Hotel		U = Uniform
I = India		V = Victor
J = Juliet		X = X-ray (how appropriate)
K = Kilo		Y = Yankee
L = Lima		Z = Zulu
M = Mike
