Default phonetic
I believe the early 1920's British wireless sets were known as Ack and Charlie sets. BTW a local here has an original case for a Ack set, it has the appearance of being made by a cabinetmaker

I learnt the modern phonetics when I was studying for a ham radio license, it was part of the regulations syllabus. With all of the other crap that is now little used PAN PAN PAN
