kohlenklau Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I am reading 2 books about the British in the Western Desert 1941. TAKE THESE MEN by Cyril Joly BRAZEN CHARIOTS by Bob Crisp In both books I see passages which describe radio communication terminology and wanted to see if anyone had an authoritative description of why they use certain words. They use 2 syllable "radio callsigns" like NUMO, JUMO, DOMO, FANA , KANO, FANO, DONA, COMO, BOXO, DINA, JUMA, HAMO..sometimes not so phonetic sounding like Tony, Peter. (Downstream 40 years and NATO pub trained, I am more used to X-ray Two Zulu this is Foxtrot Three Romeo, radio check over...!) Was there a firm list of these 2 syllable call signs in some British Army manual? I googled a bit but no joy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
