The purpose of the alphabet is to help individuals avoid any spelling mistakes or misunderstandings during radio or telephone communications. It also helps make the voice messaging more clear since most of the time it can be accompanied by static, different types of interference, and other noises.Alternate Name:Military Alphabet Chart.After the alphabet was developed in 1956, it was adopted for use by many organizations, such as the International Maritime Organization, Federal Aviation Administration, International Telecommunication Union, American Radio Relay League, etc. Some of them adopted the NATO Phonetic Alphabet without any changes, while others have slightly modified it for their convenience.Due to the fact that the previous alphabet system had faults and caused a lot of confusion during military conflicts, the ICAO has conducted research that resulted in the creation of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. The ability to communicate clearly is especially important in dangerous situations, when people from different countries and with different accents work together.Some of my other laminated charts 3 mil ARRL Frequency Chart5 mil ARRL Frequency Chart 2 ~ 5 mil Laminated ARRL Frequency Charts ARRL Quick Reference Card 2 ARRL Quick Reference Cards GIANT 11x17" 5 mil ARRL Frequency Chart Q-Signals chart - 3 mil Q-Signals chart - 5 mil NATO Phonetic Alphabet Chart - 5 mil Morse Code Worksheet - 5 mil Morse Code Letters & Numbers Chart - 5 mil Amateur Radio Band Plan and Common Country Prefixes Chart - 3 mil If you have an issue with your order, please let me know, I will do my best to make it right
