What is the radio code for the letter E

  1. Easy

  2. Echo

  3. Eating

  4. Eel

The correct answer is: Echo

The correct answer is Echo. This response stems from the NATO phonetic alphabet - an internationally-recognized set of code words used to spell out words and phrases in a way that reduces confusion and miscommunication, especially in a radio or telephone communication. In this system, every letter of the alphabet is assigned a unique word, starting with the same letter. For instance, A is Alpha, B is Bravo, and so on. Therefore, for the letter E, the word is Echo. This vocabulary is widely known and used in many fields that involve radio communications such as security, aviation, military, and emergency response.
