Why use Phonetic

• The alphabet is used to spell out parts of a
  message containing letters and numbers to avoid
  confusion.
• Many letters sound similar, for instance, n and
  m or b and d.
• The potential for confusion increases if static
  or other interference is present.

Why use Phonetic

• The message proceed to map grid DH98 could be
  transmitted as proceed to map grid
  Delta-Hotel-Niner-Ait.
• Using Delta instead of D avoids confusion
  between BH98 and DH98.
• The unusual pronunciation of certain numbers was
  designed to reduce confusion.
