This is the epitome of panoramas. It takes some special equipment and software, so isn’t casually done.

The phonetic alphabet was developed to overcome the difficulty of transmitting information by means of electronic communication where voice quality was very poor. By using highly dissimilar sounding words to indicate letters, it is simple to distinguish between them. For example, whilst it is difficult to distinguish a spoken f from an s, it is impossible to confuse the words foxtrot and sierra even under very poor conditions.
In the early years of radio, different countries developed their own versions of the phonetic alphabet, then as the world opened up, an international system was adopted which is now in use across most of the globe. It is shown below alongside earlier methods which were developed by the British and American military.
