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"?
