[UK-CONTEST] Phonetics

[Andy P Hewitt]

Danny,
That is a bit tuff! In Spanish "xilófono" is the only choice because X-ray
is "rayos-X" ie would be taken for R, so Rayos! Would be easier.

You are all lucky to have a second or third choice of phonetics to suit the
conditions.  Anyone got any other suggestions for X-ray other than
Zeeloffono?

I tend to use "Germany four London Mexico Washington" in poor conditions.

Golf is very "soft" and gets lost

Lima gets confused as Alpha
Mike is sometimes missed altogether
Whiskey is copied as Yankee
