[Scan-DC] 10-43

[David Lloyd]

That reminds me of a few transmissions I heard the other night from Montgomery County PD which left me chuckling loudly. The officer was using a mixed phonetic alphabet with certain letters (Alpha, Bravo, Echo, Hotel, etc) were in how the fire department uses them. However, all the ones that were not used often by MCFRS were reverted to the police standard (Mary, Paul, Ocean, John) I suspect he was firefighter turned police officer. 

I'll be 10-7 for the remainder...

It is hard to change a habit like that "starting at 0001 hrs on this date".  I was talking to a Calvert County Deputy who said they have to switch from the "Adam Baker Charlie" phonetic alphabet to the "Alpha Bravo Charlie" phonetic alphabet.  After doing the first one for years it's hard to switch.  I have a hard time when I am on my ham radio remembering which alphabet to use.  I can understand the "plain language" move for interoperatibility between agencies.  I can't understand the phonetic alphabet switch.
