Radio Acronyms

[~] = not an acronym, just looks like one

Radiospeak, techspeak, milspeak, NASAspeak, and compuspeak all developed for spoken, sent, or stored brevity. As Larry Van Horn is always noting, acronyms and abbreviations don't always save all that much space in written text.
Utility Planet tries to slog through all the alphabet soup and write in good old English. Often, we fail. Decode our lapses thusly:
