Description
Phonetic Alphabet - Papa
A nice simple series of caches to help boost your numbers (and mine!!). Scattered around Canberra in groups you may choose to grab them all at once - which will help you towards a number of dragonZone Trophies based on finds per day of the week/month - or maybe do them one a day which will help your dragonZone streak ! Either way have fun and BYO Pen ! There is safe parking within 50m of these caches on Black Mountain Drive.
The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those who exchange voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of language barriers or the quality of the communication channel. In other words so that messages can be understod without the similarities of the sounds in letters such as b c d e g p t v being responsible for misunderstandings.

Alpha - GA10698
Bravo - GA10699
Charlie - GA10700

Thanks Minniek...
Used this handy cache to fill in my daily - can't wait for the rest of the series !
Thanks minniek !!
He had a little difficulty finding a suitable parking spot as our street car doesn't cope well with steep edge drop offs. He eventually found a spot further up the road and walked back.He quickly found Papa hiding in a similar spot to the other caches. Again the log sheet was blank giving us our third {FTF} on this series at 14:34.
He thentried to ring the other half of the team to arrange a pick up. He wasn't surprised when he heard her phone ringing in the glove box. Mrs y'stassie is well known for not having her phone with her when it is turned on and not turned on when she has its with her. He decided to find a turning spot and head down to collect her.
Thanks for another cache in this series Minniek.
