Arduino Binary Conejo Diode Epic Fail Gif… In our weekly meeting we came up with this fun idea for a new phonetic alphabet. You probably know the one used over the air by pilots and others on voice radio, Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta… Here is one we can use for any Makerspace. We tried to use words that are familiar to makers without overlapping the NATO alphabet. Take a look and let us know what you think!

My favorite is GIF, because it works for both the hard G and soft J sounds. “GIF GIF = Good Job!”
