   
The
Phonetic Alphabet are words which are used to spell when
conditions make it difficult to understand what is being said,
such as during a radio transmission. It is used because the
letters like 'P' (pee), 'B' (bee) and 'V' (vee) almost sound the
same, but it is easy to distinguish between Papa, Bravo and
Victor. To show you what we mean, YFA would be spelt phonetically as Yankee,
Foxtrot, Alpha.
