I was inspired by hearing someone use this phonetic over the phone:  "k as in knight"  Isn't that great?  I think it's time we had our own, more subtle, more sophisticated phonetics.  Here's what I've come up so far.  I would like suggestions for the other letters or better suggestions for the ones I have:

A — aria
C — cue
E — euphoria
H — honest
G — gnat
K — knight
M — Mnemonic (a bit too obscure, I think)
O — oenophile
P — psychology, or pneumonia
Q — quay
W —whore (my son came up with this and challenged me to find a less crude improvement on it)
X — xylophone
Y — you

That's pretty funny stuff.

It reminds me of the DX guys who use "Canada" for C. I always write down a "K'.

Off hand, I went through your missing letters and didn't think of any silent letter words.  Probably the thing to do is look through a dictionary for each letter and try to pull out a few more.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

I say go the other way...

O - as in honor
N - as in pneumatic
X - as in excellent

etc.

Thom, I see you think like I do.  I worked in the state prison for 24 years; what's your excuse?!!!

Jon,
     Your son might accept T as in trollop or S as in slattern or strumpet.
