.: Alpha Bravo Charlie

While closing an old account I had to communicate using the infamous NATO/ICAO phonetic alphabet (US banks like to exchange the 20+ character long IBANs via poor-quality call-center phonelines).

As it has been a while since I last used it, I created a handy table to quickly lookup the code words: nato.sigint.ch

Special feature: when queried by curl (eg. without a text/html Accept header) it returns the table as plaintext :-)
