Wasn't it "zulu"? International spelling code, also aviation code. Mmm, not too international, it lacks words for special letters... ç, ñ, ü... No, zulu was for GMT, international time standard. Zed was used by hams to denote the letter z, just as charlie indicates the letter c.
I thought it was zebra, or is that just the armed forces?
Depending on where you are it is zulu, zebra, zed and I'm sure there are a lot others.
Not according to the NATO and ICAO. Radio amateurs are supposed to use only that standard.
