Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I've been brushing up on my NATO Phonetic Alphabet, the better to be able to call out license plate numbers. I was rusty, despite being raised in a radio ham household. 

There were a good dozen letters I could never seem to bring out of my memory.

So this card, which I saw on BlueSky a few days ago, has been handy to bring it all back into short-term recall:

Oscar is the only one I haven't had much use for. I guess states don't use O very much on license plates because it would be too easy to confuse with 0.
