Phonetic Alphabet - Challenge
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The above coordinates ARE the location of the cache. However, to log this cache as a find you must meet the “Challenge” requirements documented below. The cache is in Suburbia so beware of muggles. Parking is available. You may have to get a little down and dirty.
The Phonetic Alphabet is a universal list of words that are used to identify letters in messages transmitted by radio or telephone. The use of the phonetic alphabet helps prevent confusion between similar sounding letters, such as “b” and “v”, and clarifies communications that may be garbled during transmission. To meet this Challenge, your job is to find 26 different caches with each of the 26 different words in the Phonetic Alphabet. You may only use each word ONCE to get all 26. It is as simple as that.
Here is a list of the Phonetic Alphabet words:
ALFA (ALPHA), BRAVO, CHARLIE, DELTA, ECHO, FOXTROT, GOLF, HOTEL, INDIA, JULIET, KILO, LIMA, MIKE, NOVEMBER, OSCAR, PAPA, QUEBEC, ROMEO, SIERRA, TANGO, UNIFORM, VICTOR, WHISKEY, X-RAY, YANKEE, ZULU.
In addition to finding all the Phonetic Alphabet please find at least (5) different types of caches or categories (icons) when posting your finds. (Traditional, Multi, Unknown, Letterbox, Web, Virtual, Events. etc). You may use the plural of the Phonetic Alphabet word.
I am adding one final requirement and that is you must find at least 4 of the 26 Phonetic Alphabet after October 1, 2011. All the rest you may have already found.
