VHF alphabet
Share
The VHF alphabet has been an essential tool in maritime communication since the early 20th century, helping sailors spell letters clearly over radios and avoid costly misunderstandings.
Using codes like Alpha for A, Bravo for B, and Charlie for C, it ensures messages are understood even in poor signal conditions.
Remembering it is crucial and you can always check the correct letters anytime in the Boat File mobile app.
Sailor’s note: In maritime radio, saying “Bravo Tango” doesn’t mean a dance - it just spells “BT” clearly over the waves!
