Several posts have speculated about this station's callsign.
<bold><underline><italic>All</italic></underline></bold>
"R" callsigns are in Russia and its possessions. As anyone in these
countries will emphatically tell you, the Baltic republics are not
included!
R1M.. is M-V Island.
R1F.. is FJL.
R1A.. is the Antarctic.
Apart from these:
* Anything with 2 is in Kaliningradsk
* Anything with 1, 3, 4 or 6 is in European Russia
* Anything with 8, 9 or 0 is in Asiatic Russia
I guess it makes sense that anyone with a 6 in the call would send
"ER"?
