|
|     echo "4A21 BFC1 E902 4518 968A  55A9 015F 6BA4 4757 6386" | callsign

|
| 4 Alpha 21  Bravo  Foxtrot  Charlie 1  Echo  9er 02 4518  9er 68 Alpha
| 55 Alpha  9er  015 Foxtrot  6 Bravo  Alpha 4 4757 6386

hmmm, looks complicated, wee need to substitute numbers, too
and it must be done in C inside gnupg, all other should be considered
easily attackable.

| out"
| the numbers (one, two, etc.) and other characters (dash, space, etc.).
