Russian spelling table?

[Kamneva, Natalia]

Russians usually use first names as phonetic aid for
spelling ( such as "Andrey, Boris, Vladimir..."), but
there is not a standardized system for that in Russian.

        Dear SEELANGers,

        When spelling a name over a phone, do Russians use any kind of
phonetic aid
        (such as "alpha, bravo, charlie..." is used in the American
military)?  I
        understand that the German postal service, for example, has a
standardized
        "buchstabiertafel" for just such use.  Is there such a thing in
Russian,
        and if so, does anyone have any suggestions about my getting a
copy?

        Thanks,

        Jerry Ervin
