Alpha Bravo alphabets
Here is a collection of alphabets of the Alpha Bravo Charlie
Delta kind, variously known as radio alphabets, phonetic
alphabets and spelling alphabets. This collection currently
includes alphabets for the following languages:
English, French, German, Dutch, Flemish, Italian,
Rumantsch, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Swedish,
Finnish and Russian.
This posting supersedes the one of 10th December.
My thanks to the many contributors, not all of whom are

If you have studied RF-EM radiation and its biological effects, you know that there are four factors that need to be considered (not withstanding the actual research methods - which is an entirely different subject) which are intensity, proximity, frequency, and length of exposure.
True that the hand-helds are 1/2 w, but the EM fields are much more intense
(literally right against your skull). The police handhelds typically are the 'walkie-talkie' style and they have also learned to point the antenna away from the body (head in particular), thereby greatly reducing the field intensity. The EM field intensity has an inverse square relationship with proximity.
We have through research seen various effects on the body at various frequencies. Example, your microwave is set at a particular frequency that
will excite water molecules, thereby creating heat. At 27 Mhz (CB frequencies), the EM field has an affect on the sleep center of the brain. Exteremly low audio frequencies can, well let's just say can have an GI reaction.
The most critical factors, IMHO, is the length of exposure. The individual from
Motorola on Eye-to-eye that claimed brain cancer from cell-phone use was also
testing prototype antennas. I strongly suspect he spent hours per day on
a cell-phone close to his head. Length of exposure is directly in the users
control.
There was an intresting related story several months ago about how some police
officers were developing prostrait (sp ?) cancer. They also linked it to
a practice of removing the radar gun from its mounting on the exterior of the
vechicle and keeping it between their legs (as to not alert motorists). They
were using the equipment in direct contrdiction to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Measuring biological effects of RF-EM radiation is itself somewhat contriversal.
The only agreed upon measurement (that I am aware of) is the change in temperature in tissue. It was shown in a seminar that I attended on the subject, that long term cell exposure will raise the brain tissue.
On the subject on research methods (which I know little about), here is a
humorous happening tht illustraits the complexity of the problem. A group of
researchers were studying the effects of RF on lab rats. They noticed when a
particlar frequency was used, the rats would run wildly until they eventually
sat in a water bowl. They concluded that this frequency had a effect on the rat's brain. Later in discussing their result, a radio engineer asked what the
frequency was, and after doing some calculation, found the rat's tail was a
perfect antenna for that frequency, hense, the tail was getting HOT !
There is much more that we don't know about RF-EM effects on biological systems
than we do know. In the meantime, the best thing to do is not panic, not ignore, but use good ol' common sense.

On world.std.com, there is a C program for code in the directory:
pub/hamradio/unix called superiormorse.shar.
For DOS, there is always Super Morse, as well as others.

Hi...finally got cards from MS and UT. Now I need Idaho! I've made
several contacts into ID, but two of my cards have been "return to sender"
(no forwarding from old callbook address) or my card disappeared into a
black hole. Any folks from Idaho care to try a sked? I set a goal for
myself of confirming WAS in a year from getting my license and I have
only a few weeks to go. I've gotten into ID on 80m, 20m and 10m. Will
work CW (less than 15 WPM) or SSB. If you're interested, please repond
to tjf@beta.lanl.gov.
Thanks!

I looked you up in the callbook server at 128.205.32.2 and it says you
are good until 4/21/1997. Send in a 610 and get a replacement though.
First time I checked, I did it wrong and it said your call did not
exist, I then thought it may be a joke because ...
