[UK-CONTEST] Phonetics

[G3RIR]

What are others views about phonetics. I was always taught to use the NATO 
services alphabet which used to appear in my licence.

Last night I had great difficulty picking out a callsign amongst noise 
because CANADA was being used for C.  Now the C in Canada is hard like a K. 
The C in CHARLIE is soft. By all means use alternatives for phonetics but 
surely a fundamental change like soft to hard C is not conducive to speedy 
operating.
