The Series
This cache is one of a series offering a variety of "easy" puzzles. They are all (meant to be) puzzles that can be solved either using clues provided or online resources readily found using Google. The hides themselves are relatively easy – the key feature here is you are meant to use your energy on the puzzle, not the find.
In part, this series pays tribute to TR!'s "It's Puzzle Time" series, which is another great introduction to puzzle caches (thank you heaps, TR!).

Spelling Alphabet
The International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet (IRSA) is a popular tool used to improve communication of letters and numbers over radio or telephone, especially if the communication channel is of low quality. Although often called a "phonetic alphabet", a spelling alphabet is not designed to assist with accurate pronunciation of words, but rather focuses on correct transmission of important alphabetic combinations. The IRSA is a one-to-many cipher, in that it replaces a single letter with a group of letters, hence the enciphered message is much longer than the original.
