Keep in mind that the "Sierra Tango X-ray" phonetics were developed by
the ICAO for use between aircraft and control towers in lands where
English was NOT the native language. The phonetics were chosen to be
most easily understood by non-English speakers. "South" and "Texas"
are probably better for domestic contests, but I'd go with ICAO for DX
work.
