Contact Romeo for one (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reach

'contact' is the definition.
(I know that contact can be written as reach)

'romeo for one' is the wordplay.
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'for one' becomes 'each' (eg something may be one pound each or for one).
'r'+'each'='REACH'

(Other definitions for reach that I've seen before include "Grasp" , "Get to < throw up in the old" , "Open stretch of water" , "Attain - continuous extent of water" , "Get to; extent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
