[net.wanted] romeo delta tango

gsp@ulysses.UUCP (08/18/83)

I am looking for the official list (if one exists) of names
for letters.  I mean the ones like in movies with airplanes
where to convey the letters RDT a person on a radio says:
		romeo delta tango
I guess police use the same or a similar system for licence plates.
Any information about the origin of such standards would be useful.

The official list which I use is:
	Ant Bat Centaur Dragon Eye Fungi Gnome Invisible Jackal
	Leprechaun Mimic Nymph Orc Purpleworm Quasit Rustmonster
	Snake Troll Umberhulk Vampire Xorn Yeti Zombie
Works fine for me.:-)
