Phonetic Alphabet Tables

Useful for spelling words and names over the phone. I printed this page, cut out the
table containing the NATO phonetic alphabet (below), and taped it to the side of my
computer monitor when I was a call center help desk technician.
An alternate version, Western Union's phonetic alphabet, is presented in case the NATO
version sounds too militaristic to you.
I was inspired to recreate this page and post it online when I overheard a co-worker say
"L, as in Log" over the phone.
